Blind Faith

I believe because it is absurd
The most cowardly phrase ever heard

I believe because it is absurd
The most cowardly phrase ever heard
I don't need evidence
My faith is my sentence
Eye closed, mind closed
Mouth open, soul hanged
On the gallows of ignorance
That the church calls confidence!

Blind faith! Blind faith!
Eye that doesn't see, mouth that doesn't speak!

Blind faith, eye that doesn't see!
The lie that makes you believe
Blind faith, eye that doesn't see!
The chain that you want to wear
Blind faith, eye that doesn't see!
The real world beyond the veil
Blind faith, eye that doesn't see!
That faith is the cruelest prison!

Tertullian spoke the nonsense
And two thousand years of slavery
Followed the same song
Believe, don't use reason
But I ask: If God exists
Why does He hide His face?
If the truth is so bright
Why does it live in ignorance?

Blind faith! Blind faith!
Eye that doesn't see, mouth that doesn't speak!

Blind faith, eye that doesn't see!
The lie that makes you believe
Blind faith, eye that doesn't see!
The chain that you want to wear
Blind faith, eye that doesn't see!
The real world beyond the veil
Blind faith, eye that doesn't see!
That faith is the cruelest prison!

Harris asks: Why is faith a virtue?
If faith is believing without proof
Then doubt is a sin?
Then reason is contraband?
If God gave the brain to think
Why does He forbid using it?

Blind faith eye that doesn't see
The lie that you embraced
