Out In The Darkness

I don't believe there's a true religion

I'm not afraid of your Holy Ghost

You've waged the wars and you've caused division

The true believers who sin the most

You can't condone all your strange behavior

Don't quote to me from your crazy book

Why burden Jesus to be my savior?

To let my conscience right off the hook again

I'm getting tired of your lame excuses

It only seems like you're un-evolved

I'm feeling sick at your cruel abuses

Without your lies, every problem's solved

Why hold us back from our bright new morning?

You've reigned with bloodshed around the Earth

I live in hope that the day is dawning

When man will know what religion's worth, at last

Man is an animal, out in the darkness

We're just children deep down inside

Lost throughout history, guided by madness

Biological consequence

We're nothing special, just searching for kindness

All the billions who've lived and died

Dwell not in Heaven nor out in the darkness now

Even world leaders believe in this fable

Men with their fingers on buttons of red

Someone should give them the Cain if they're Abel

They won't be happy 'til everyone's dead

Fair and blue-eyed is the image they've sold us

Seems very strange for a man from that part of the world

Bet your life he was black as night

I'm finding out what I always knew now

I'm taking in what you feel inside

I won't agree to your thought control and

You'll never get me to take that ride

You've all distorted a simple teaching

The man who taught it would surely weep

We've heard enough of your righteous preaching

Go throw your pamphlet upon the heap, my friend

Man is an animal, out in the darkness

We're just children deep down inside

Lost throughout history, guided by madness

Life on Earth is no miracle

We're nothing special, just searching for kindness

All the billions who've lived and died

Dwell not in Heaven nor out in the darkness now

My covering is Jesus Christ and the shed blood

The shed blood of Jesus Christ

What can clear away my sin?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

What can make me whole again?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Be very cheerful

Be very, very, very cheerful
