Enter Night

For those who enjoy the audio listen here.


In another world's tale
in a land that's for sale
where religion does prevail
and logic is assailed
where reason is derailed
and science is impaled
on a bronze rusted nail
a theocracy is unveiled
the sound of man's wail
but to no avail
we cannot help but fail
when religion prevails

Curiosity's appetite
vanishes like candlelight
remember you thought it was alright
to enter this long night

Conservatives had a plot
using god as a prop
scientists become laughingstock
no need for an astronaut
creationism came as a shock
to those who mock
evolution was forgot
hardly an afterthought
climate change will make it hot
you'll die in the weather's onslaught
you're own neck you garrote
you know not what you have wrought

Curiosity's appetite
vanishes like candlelight
remember you thought it was alright
to enter this long night

Where magic rules what happens
where priests are our captains
and the thoughts you imagine
are left in shambles
for your mind is in shackles
and evolution is a scandal
where questioning is an infraction
against the rich in their mansions
a place where your grandsons
will deal with the phantoms
of science and atoms
and the reality of dragons

Curiosity's appetite
vanishes like candlelight
remember you thought it was alright
to enter this long night

The anointed ones will rule
using the bible as fuel
showing disdain and ridicule
for the thought of a molecule
acting neutral
while leaders are untruthful
you've given them approval
by your steadfast refusal
to elect leaders with scruples
during a time that is crucial
now resistance is futile
you're a fool fool fool

Curiosity's appetite
vanishes like candlelight
remember you thought it was alright
to enter this long night
