Lyrics

So you're a self proclaimed messiah

Challenging someone who claims to be a savior or messiah

Or maybe a blasphemes liar

Suggesting the possibility of being a dishonest blasphemer

A clever hypnotic hoax

Describing the person as a clever deceiver using hypnotic tactics

A hallowed heretic coax

Referring to the person as a revered heretic who persuades others

Who tells these stories so old

Talking about the repetition of ancient stories

No, never the same twice told

Emphasizing the lack of originality in the stories

Speaking in distorted truths

Speaking in a way that distorts the truth

I see that Thomas wants some proof

Noting skepticism and the desire for evidence, possibly referencing Doubting Thomas from the Bible

Did you come to heal the sick

Raising the question of whether the person came to genuinely help the sick

With one more magician's trick

Implies skepticism about miraculous healing as just another trick

Ye generation seeks a sign

Commenting on the demand for signs or miracles by the current generation

While blind keeps leading the blind

Highlighting the irony of blind individuals leading others


So you say there is no god

Explicitly stating the belief that there is no god

Just a clever man's charade

Characterizing the concept of god as a cleverly devised charade

A once upon a fairy tales fraud

Comparing the idea of god to a fraudulent fairy tale

Has god made man or man made god

Pondering the origin of god, questioning if man created god or vice versa


There is no god

Reiterating the assertion that there is no god

Confused thy talk in parables

Describing confusion in communicating through parables

Accused thou walk in parallels

Accusing the person of walking along similar lines but not the right path

A simple game of Simon says

Comparing belief to a simple game of following instructions

This month's flavor sciences

Referencing the transient nature of popular beliefs in science

Today's fact, tomorrow's fiction

Highlighting the fluidity of facts, turning into fiction over time

Leave the rest to superstition

Encouraging reliance on superstition when facts are unknown

If knowledge comes from learning books

Comparing knowledge gained from books to wisdom obtained from perceptive observation

Wisdom comes from discerning looks

Asserting that a fool denies the existence of god

A fool that says there is no god

Expressing a lack of sympathy for someone who denies god

Don't feel for that sorry sod

Suggesting that seeking proof is unnecessary for belief

Who needs proof then he'll believe

Questioning if a person who requires proof has been deceived

I wonder if he's been deceived

Expressing doubt about the sincerity of belief in the absence of proof


There is no god

Reiterating the bold statement that there is no god
