I've got a prayer for you, my Lord, It's not quite fleshed out, that's true. I wonder if you can brandish your sword, And cut us down to the few. I know it's not the most popular Or practical idea I could say, But, let's face it, there's far too many Of us to squeeze into heaven today. Also, begging your pardon, my lord, Most of us really are **** We could do with a culling, Before we take off and split. You see, we're spawning like maggots And spreading from pole to pole; Slaying each other in your name, With oil and land the goal. Evolution was really quite clever, A red herring for white-coated nerds; Genetics our new religion, As dinosaurs turned into birds. We forgot your purposeful message, To do onto others your will. Instead we shoot the innocent, And send their families the bill. We buy and sell gold in our temples, Our banks our churches of greed; We care not at all for holy prayers, Crosses, or rosary beads. So spare us your soul-searching piety, Leave off your crown of thorns. Pick up your sword, strong and mighty, And sound from your terrible horns. Is it too much to ask for apocalypse? Is it really that hard to do? Or maybe you're far from omnipotent, Or maybe, just maybe, Not true.

A Prayer for the Disillusioned
I've got a prayer for you, my Lord, It's not quite fleshed out, that's true. I wonder if you can brandish your sword, And cut us down to the few. I know it's not the most popular Or practical idea I could say, But, let's face it, there's far too many Of us to squeeze into heaven today. Also, begging your pardon, my lord, Most of us really are **** We could do with a culling, Before we take off and split. You see, we're spawning like maggots And spreading from pole to pole; Slaying each other in your name, With oil and land the goal. Evolution was really quite clever, A red herring for white-coated nerds; Genetics our new religion, As dinosaurs turned into birds. We forgot your purposeful message, To do onto others your will. Instead we shoot the innocent, And send their families the bill. We buy and sell gold in our temples, Our banks our churches of greed; We care not at all for holy prayers, Crosses, or rosary beads. So spare us your soul-searching piety, Leave off your crown of thorns. Pick up your sword, strong and mighty, And sound from your terrible horns. Is it too much to ask for apocalypse? Is it really that hard to do? Or maybe you're far from omnipotent, Or maybe, just maybe, Not true.
