Empty Promised Land - Zero Down

The clock is ticking on the wall the world is spinning

While the billions work to justify their lives

They search for meaning in their useless sense of breeding

In their quest for recognition when they die

Because ego won’t permit belief in our mortality

So we manufactured our delusioned lie

We believe with much conviction in our useless superstition

That our lives are bigger than life

The man on TV preaches his beliefs to me

And says that I am doomed because I don’t think like him

He asks for contributions for his sermons' convolutions

In return is absolution for your sins

I watch in disbelief as people try and shed their grief

Because they can’t accept the things that they’ve become

They blindly patronize a dogmatic pack of lies

That tell them Jesus is their chosen one

Strictly designed for the weak of mind

Not just the working man’s opiate anymore

Paralyzed minds all seeking the sublime

With all doubt ruled out by their faith in the divine

All of them seeking that same righteous reward

Weak of mind and born to follow

Do not question the beliefs you swallow

Eternal life for your belief in man

Welcome to the empty promised land

Don’t think, don’t breathe, don’t live, just believe

With no question, just devotion, lifeless life living in transition
