The Atheist Hymn
The words are inscribed as the stories are told
Engraved and defended, we bind them in gold
In fear of the fire
And the poor sightless wraith
So myth becomes legend
Devotion and faith
And so we explain what lies under the stone
Let Y be the question and X the unknown
Let light fall upon us
And where there is none
The answer is all
To the power of one
And there with the flock as I listened and heard
The learned ones strive to interpret the Word
I stood and relinquished
The shackle of youth
As I rose to greet
The simple truth
That faith is belief that is tempered with need
Yes, faith is belief that is tempered with need
And I have no faith
For I have no need
And so I am free
To disbelieve
Faith is belief that is tempered with need
Yes, faith is belief that is tempered with need
And I have no faith
For I have no need
And so I am free
To disbelieve
Engraved and defended, we bind them in gold
In fear of the fire
And the poor sightless wraith
So myth becomes legend
Devotion and faith
And so we explain what lies under the stone
Let Y be the question and X the unknown
Let light fall upon us
And where there is none
The answer is all
To the power of one
And there with the flock as I listened and heard
The learned ones strive to interpret the Word
I stood and relinquished
The shackle of youth
As I rose to greet
The simple truth
That faith is belief that is tempered with need
Yes, faith is belief that is tempered with need
And I have no faith
For I have no need
And so I am free
To disbelieve
Faith is belief that is tempered with need
Yes, faith is belief that is tempered with need
And I have no faith
For I have no need
And so I am free
To disbelieve
