you cannot blame this on your god
misconceived divinity is no exchange for truth
you have no right, any of you
to claim you, understand, the mind of creation
to think that your god, would welcome you
just because you sacrificed yourself

this is ignorance, this is your blindness
this is human ignorance, this is your blindness

you interpret your will as divine direction
but you have no vision of truth, no easy solutions
you’re all a bunch of sheep
without enough presence of mind to realize
that it is long past the time
to evolve beyond all of this
it’s long past the time
to evolve beyond violence

this is ignorance, this is your blindness
this is human ignorance, this is your blindness
killing for your faith, you make me sick to
killing for your faith, you make me sick to be
killing for your faith, you make me sick to
killing for your faith, you make me sick to be human
we’re only human
it’s time to grow up
all you pathetic children
you do not deserve your innocence
you’re not worth the ground that you walk upon
you should have learned this long ago
that your quest for self-righteous fame
isn’t worth anything

this is ignorance, this is your blindness
this is human ignorance, this is your blindness
killing for your faith, you make me sick to
killing for your faith, you make me sick to be
killing for your faith, you make me sick to
killing for your faith, you make me sick to be human
