The Stone IV by The Witch Was Right Lyrics
(Audio Sample)
{
It is the wish to be a slave. It is the desire that there be an unalterable, unchallengeable, tyrannical authority who can convict you of thought crime while you are asleep, who can subject you, who must indeed subject you, to total surveillance around the clock every waking and sleeping minute of your life, even worse and where the real fun begins, after you're dead. The tyranny, the misery, the uttеr ownership of your entire pеrsonality. The smashing of your individuality only begins. This is evil. This is a wicked preachment. Says we, you and I, could not individually or collectively decide upon a right action or a right thing without celestial, divine permission
}
Seize Fire! (Fire)
Seize Fire! (Fire)
(Fire) (Fire)
(Audio Sample Continues)
{
We would not know right from wrong if we did not have heaven’s permission to do so. With where else, how else could we know our human solidarity, our innate knowledge of right and wrong, our acute awareness of what is fair, what is unfair, what is just and worthless to us, these come to us also as gifts from the great unassailable dictator and throne. What could abolish our integrity, what could abolish our honesty, our decency, our dignity more? We thought disease came from curses or witches or ill-wishing or devils or dust devils we didn't know anything. From childish, terrified, ignorant origins of our animal primate species comes religion
}
Seize Fire! (Fire)
Seize Fire! (Fire)
Seize Fire! (Fire)
Fire!
Seize Fire!
(Audio Sample Continues)
{
Human sacrifices and plagues
And mass murder and if that doesn't make them behave morally
We just don’t what does
