axiom to zeal : music : and god mumbled

and god mumbled

printable version
written :: 2004 spring Linfield
desc :: This is my effort to simultaneously declare: that one can be spiritual without religion, that I strive, and that religion is chiefly a crock. The true beliefs of many churchs are totally obliterated by their own existance. In fact, the vast majority of followers never quite even understand the words that they spend their whole lives mumbling. (This is the case with all subjects.) Shout it from the rooftops or else don't bother to go every week. A philosopher's theory of knowledge is called his/her epistemology. This is the same word used to describe one apostles' accounts. So, you have the power to be an apostle in your hands. Whatever god/nature/world is to you, write your own bible. [23:6:23]

a little motivation

still in my song

I don't go to church, don't attend a synagog.
You won't find me in a temple, but I'm still a man of god.

I've got faith down in my boots,
the maker and devil are in cahoots,
cuz I believe in love
and shaking the world until we all go crazy.

The root of evil is in the static word.
Listen to yourself you're so absurd.
I'm here to unbalance your equation.

CHORUS
The kingdom of heaven is here on earth.
It starts with seeing what eachother are worth.
It's the nature of your game
that's causing your frustration.
***
We've got a long way to go
and there's no right way to know.
The feathers of a pheonix burn so bright,
but for how long?
We've got a long way to go
and there's no right way to know.
The blood of a martyr stains so bright,
but not for long.

This world is not as complicated as we try to make it.
we make up little games, and then we try to fake it.

There are not soap operas, and there's no secret plots,
it's not a crossword puzzle or connect the dots.

In my humble opinion, your opinion should be humble.
But when it comes to what you believe in
don't stutter, don't mumble.

CHORUS
No, not for long.
