They tell us to cleave unto him
Are not we cleft in twain
By the fact that human whim
Defines divine domain
On our knees to sing the hymn
To the immortal slain
A notion that we choose to limn
In a manner profane
The dying prophet truly grim
To God we’re inhumane
Divinity upon the limb
Humanity insane
With the current must we swim
No questions entertain
The worship of a pseudonym
Promotional campaign
Hopeful in the interim
Eternity obtain
Desire large but chances slim
One’s loss another’s gain
Only off the cream to skim
From reason then abstain
Blinded by the holy glim
It’s so hard to maintain
Bring us together you fissure of men
For in your name we’re rent asunder
Your church is but a fixture of men
Determining whose thumb we live under
Give a man a fish
For a day he eats
Limits are defined by the supply
Teach a man to fish
To the shore he beats
No longer upon others to rely
Give a man a wish
From reason he retreats
Rarely does a life thus simplify
Call man devilish
To hell his soul escheats
The gift of endless torture from on high
Bring us together you fissure of men
For in your name we’re rent asunder
Your church is but the fixture of men
Determining whose thumb we live under
Bring us together you fissure of men
If not then you must leave us alone
Cast off the tether – open the pen
Your flocks must find their way on their own
