Empty Promised Land

The clock is ticking on the wall
 the world is spinning
 while the millions work to justify there lives
 they search for meaning
 in their useless sense of breeding
 in the search for recognition
 when they die
 but 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 of tv preaches his beliefs to me
 and says that im doomed
 cuz i dont live like him
 he asks for contributions
 for his sermons convolutions
 in return his absolution for your sin
 i watch in disbelief
 as people try and
 shed their grief
 because they cant accept the things
 theyve become
 they blindly patronize a dogmatic pack of lies
 that tell them jesus is the chosen one
 strictly designed for the weak of mind
 not just for the working mans opiate anymore
 paralyzed minds all seeking the sublime
 with all doubt ruled out
 by the faith in the divine
 all of them seeking that same righteous reward
 weak of mind born to follow
 do not question the beliefs you swallow
 eternal life for your belief in man
 welcome to the empty promised land
 dont think, dont breathe, dont live, just believe
 with no question jsut devotion
 lifeless lives living in transition
 welcome to the empty promised land
