Not My Cross to Bear
My alarm went off as the shot was fired
The dream died out like a candle flame
Hope came crashing right into the earth
Face down in the sea
Is there a bullet with your name on it
For speaking your mind?
Will I get a golden treat
For drowning out my heart?
Can I talk about religion
And still avoid the gallows?
How much longer will we pretend it's not a fairy tale
Our own deathly hallows
How can believing in something
Make you so inhumane?
If your religions not there to lead the blind
Then what's the fucking point?
Sorry, but no cultures worth the toll
When the price that's paid are lives
No life should be the cost of figuring out
If your god is real or mine
No cultures worth a hand in fire
No religions worth a life
The dream died out like a candle flame
Hope came crashing right into the earth
Face down in the sea
Is there a bullet with your name on it
For speaking your mind?
Will I get a golden treat
For drowning out my heart?
Can I talk about religion
And still avoid the gallows?
How much longer will we pretend it's not a fairy tale
Our own deathly hallows
How can believing in something
Make you so inhumane?
If your religions not there to lead the blind
Then what's the fucking point?
Sorry, but no cultures worth the toll
When the price that's paid are lives
No life should be the cost of figuring out
If your god is real or mine
No cultures worth a hand in fire
No religions worth a life
