The Lie lyrics

Nicaea, fourth century A pagan emperor compiles A book of stories fit To strengthen his empire Twenty-first century Earth The same story-book Is taught as the only truth To our children in schools Control through fear Mind games and shame Justification for all atrocities Done in God's name Try this on for size You weren't the first Earth-born To look at the stars and ask Where did all this come from So many have had to die It's sick what people will buy Millions living by The 1700-year-old lie Lie! Control through fear Mind games and shame Atrocities done in God's name
