Step from the pews And rise up against the storm Growing from our past As lies become the norm, As truth is lost to ego And accused of vanity By peddlers of human souls And false humanity, Who sold their God for silver And passed along the blame, Abased their infidelity, And insist we do the same. Stand up against the rising storm Of bitter ignorance, Take up a sword of thought and deed, Forsake deliverance, Fight for your right to have a thought, Before it turns to crime, And know your soul is all your own, From now, and for all time.
