[Verse 1]

Telling lies to cause wonder

One of the oldest pastimes of mankind

Try to distract the mind from thinking

Too deeply about the cares that weigh us down

Recounting marvelous tales and strange delusions

Unlimited thirst for fantasy

Disbelieving the facts they see

In exchange for an exhausted false reality

[Verse 2]

Impelled on by groundless hope

Naively expressed as evidence

Astonished listeners rеtell fanciful legends

Might as wеll be fairy tales of little girls

Staring out to Neverland

Textual distortion in their hands

A false translation misunderstood

Echoes of corrupted text

[Breakdown]

Staring into the sun

Focused on the need for meaning

Dreaming yet not asleep

Mind seared by false teachings

[Bridge]

The wisps of dreams from another world

Steeped in delusion, weighing their lives down

What can’t be proven lacks claim to truth

Steeped in delusion, entrancing sacred ruse!

[Verse 3]

Ignore their claims that contradict reason

Guard and revere respect for truth

Zealots emboldened to say that by their faith alone

The words in doubt are proven true

When they can't even understand the language

The ancient text was written in

Well-intentioned, and yet misled

Platonic passed off as Christian

[Verse 4]

What’s in a vision is not really true

A figment of imaginings

Symbolic but not real, reciting vague words

As if they had deep meaning

Unknown, the text originally written by the men

Foundational concepts redefined

A clever ancient lie shrewdly misinterred

Echoes of corrupted text
