Mandated since none of them knew
How to transcend moral codes that are presumed
Unthinkable? Inconceivable?
Cower in a corner, keep the heresy stowed
Freedom is the wage of sin
Freedom is the wage of sin, no
Universal force of influence
Should dictate behavior, we can't handle ourselves
Freedom is the wage of sin
Freedom is the wage of sin, no
Permission
The abdication of our self-determination
Think, think for a minute
Centuries of perpetuating
Bloodshed, deception, oppression
Bloodshed, deception, oppression
Bloodshed, deception, oppression
Think, think for a minute
Centuries of subjugating
Martyrs, superstitions
Martyrs, superstitions
The evidence is damning and conclusive
That intervention is not advancing
Or easing hardships
Still we're strangely so duty-bound
Mandated since none of them knew
How to transcend moral codes
