Ruminations on beliefs and believers, unbelief and unbelievers

lyrics

Verse One

A march through Canaan
Some holy crusade
Manifest destiny
This all reads the same

The tip of the arrow
The end of the spear
Hands on the harrow
They all read the same

Vengeance or justice
Right, sovereign, or safe
Justifications, excuses
They all read the same
To me

Verse two

Battle cry of freedom
Throw off tyranny
Reject your oppression
It all sounds the same

Raise prayers to heaven
Calling out a name
Chosen and choosing
It all sounds the same

From hearts’ overflowing
The mouth will speak
We’re better not knowing
It all sounds the same
To me

Bridge

With a different face
In a thousand places

Always changing shape
And claiming stasis

Source of love and hate
But who could blame us

Rose by another name
Would be the same as

Verse three

Priestess from the temple
Curiosity and a jar
A tree and an apple
This all seems the same

A boat on the water
Some vengeful gods
People sent to slaughter
This all seems the same

The problem of evil
The problem of pain
A cause to our suffering
It all seems the same
To me
