Sad But True

You have to die to see the light? Is the weight of the world on you? Constantly seeking to change the world But never to change yourself You are a pain here but expecting pleasure hereafter? You may be blessed but are you a blessing? The desperate need for a savior Is for the fool and the weak In the dungeon you have fallen Now you are blind to reason Heaven is a promise, so is Hell An experience is always welcome Verses distorted, your faith transported To a realm where perception fails [Chorus] Can't you see the state you're in? Desires replaced by the desire for Kingdom come A comforting transient holy slavery This is your fate, it is sad but true! You are the human sheep sent to the slaughterhouse "Forfeit your sanity to gain the Kingdom" The clergy is waiting with a book in hand Speaking in tongues to drown your screams You're in pain but you are paralyzed By the dogmas of 2 thousand years Your right to question raped and gagged To doubt is to sin and a place in Hades! [Chorus] Freedom forgotten Lost in the Herd Your silent tears are seen Your soul yearns for relief [solo - kannan] Throw away those notions, which were taught By the heaven mongers and the blind fools Be like the wise and not otherwise Let the mission be wisdom! [Chorus] [solo - selvam]
