Analysis of delve into the dirge



I don't want you to keep telling me that there's no escape
Accusations of violations
Will Is Our Word, We Do Not Rape
I learned this value
Long ago
No need to say - you just never know
I Believe In Truth
I'll stand trial and make no denial of my Actuals
Love Is The Law
Indeed, they say that's Satanism
But eat and drink your Savior
And that's Not Paganism?
If a Cross is not an Idol
Recall All Dictionaries
You Might As Well Begin The Mantras
Our Father and Hail Mary
It's Unnecessary
But do indulge
Just don't jam your sh*t sandwiches down anymore
Innocent throats
Religion is discovered
Not spoonfed
Nor force-fed or horse-blinded either
So quit training your kids to worship candy at Easter
Plant seeds of righteousness in their heads
and upon attainment of Wisdom
Clarity comes
It's not otherwise instructed
Discovery is not a Sin
and Knowledge neither
No hypocrite's contradiction's
Can Shake My Faith That Could Only Have Come From Within
