THE NEW PRIESTHOOD
|
(Music: Hoglan/Eriksen, Lyrics: Hoglan)
|
|
History's shown you that answers can't be found above.
|
Life's great questions are tackled only by us.
|
Knowledge of mysteries that puzzle your learned men of the cloth.
|
We've explanations that men of God can't fathom.
|
|
Searching for your destiny
|
In a book that's not reality.
|
We solve the the Earth's problems
|
Through our science and technology.
|
|
Look back one thousand years when science was in its infancy.
|
The church had the word, the world was forced to heed.
|
How many times they led astray, their flock was shown no mercy.
|
"It's God's will," not good enough, minds were closed ignorantly.
|
|
We are here to shed the light,
|
And your "Savior" is powerless to fight.
|
You must realize that your theology is wrong
|
And we are right.
|
Accept it for it's proven,
|
And the truth is for all to see.
|
Scientifically we'll answer any question there could be.
|
|
(chorus)
|
Obviously you don't see that we've become your deities.
|
Can't you see that we are your new priesthood?
|
Blinded by your piety and impotent divinity,
|
Recoginize that we are your new priesthood!
|
|
Religious dogma that's confused and shackled you.
|
Searching through the good book not knowing what's the truth.
|
You're only innocent, raised servile and unaware.
|
Unconversant to what is really out there.
|
|
Humanity must be erudite but not only from books should it gain insight.
|
Through practice of sound philosophy comes cognizance of Man's own plight.
|
This you won't find in your church or your faith,
|
Though science has always attempted to explicate.
|
|
(chorus)
|
Obviously you don't see that we've become your deities.
|
Can't you see that we are your new priesthood?
|
Blinded by your piety and impotent divinity,
|
Recoginize that we are your new priesthood!
|
|
(lead-Gene)
|
|
(bridge)
|
Intelligence is lacking in your realm.
|
That is why we've come to take the helm.
|
|
As you have seen, you cannot turn to God for the solution.
|
Mankind has thrust himself into a sick position, lack of vision.
|
To those who blanket and surround themselves with gullibility,
|
There will be severity.
|
Yet again we will achieve the answers because we are more than God.
|
|
As you kneel and pray,
|
Genuflect our way.
|
Try and feel your way
|
Without our guidance someday.
|
|
History's shown you that answers can't be found above.
|
Life's great questions are tackled only by us.
|
Knowledge of mysteries that puzzle your learned men of the cloth.
|
We've explanations that men of God can't fathom.
|
|
Searching for your destiny
|
In a book that's not reality.
|
We have solved the the Earth's problems
|
Through our science and technology.
|
We see the things that you can't find in your faith.
|
We are in command with men like Hawking leading the way.
|
|
(chorus)
|
Obviously you don't see that we've become your deities.
|
Can't you see that we are your new priesthood?
|
Blinded by your piety and impotent divinity,
|
Recoginize that we are your new priesthood!
