Autotheist Movement III: Deconsecrate Lyrics
All rise for the black mass
We are gathered here today in the funeral of your faith
Angels set ablaze
Bask in the flames
God is dead!
Rid your mind of guilt my child
God is dead!
Let your sacrament wilt my child
In a godless universe with logic as the reigning scepter of power
Revel in the mysteries of our reality
Wisdom undefiled
In the shadows where secrets lie
Unrestricted wisdom grows in all directions
Evolutions grow forth from the grave of your faith
Bow your head in awe of our creation
Bring closer his withered throne to earth
Lowering paradise within reach
Burn heaven down!
Nailed to the cross
Drained of it's blood
Piety dies
Crucify this lie
Deus est mortuus!
Logica obtinet!
Evolved in fruition to deny the god of carnal opposition
There will be no judgement from above
Inherit the earth
Posess what is left
Behold a vision blinded by guilt ridden righteousness
Mortal entombment of the mind
False beliefs abandoned in the shadows of the light
We are gathered here today in the funeral of your faith
Angels set ablaze
Bask in the flames
God is dead!
Rid your mind of guilt my child
God is dead!
Let your sacrament wilt my child
In a godless universe with logic as the reigning scepter of power
Revel in the mysteries of our reality
Wisdom undefiled
In the shadows where secrets lie
Unrestricted wisdom grows in all directions
Evolutions grow forth from the grave of your faith
Bow your head in awe of our creation
Bring closer his withered throne to earth
Lowering paradise within reach
Burn heaven down!
Nailed to the cross
Drained of it's blood
Piety dies
Crucify this lie
Deus est mortuus!
Logica obtinet!
Evolved in fruition to deny the god of carnal opposition
There will be no judgement from above
Inherit the earth
Posess what is left
Behold a vision blinded by guilt ridden righteousness
Mortal entombment of the mind
False beliefs abandoned in the shadows of the light

God is dead! Logic prevails!
It's pretty straight forward standard atheist (or autotheist) logic. They believe they are their own god, claiming our minds are blocked by illusions of religion and that we must transcend the illusion by forsaking our "made up" God. We share the same brain as everyone else so there's no real illusion at play. People saw Jesus rise from the dead, and perform miracles, so they wrote about it and we worship him for dying for our sins. I really like the Faceless musically, Michael Keene has a serious talent for making absolutely banger riffs. I'm guessing he grew up with Westboro Baptist christians his entire life (which dont really qualify as christian) so he probably hasn't given it much more thought than a few discussions and random dives into the bible. I can't listen to them anymore because some good ass music isn't worth betraying my beliefs, as well as eternal salvation.
One last thing, if we're talking LOGIC, is it logical to say the universe spawned from nothing? Existence came from two chemicals that just existed and made the big bang? Something, cannot come from nothing. There (logically) has to be a creator involved. Evolution also would not explain humans evolving shame, being capable of pure evil, the simple human construct of good and evil, and why the hell we wear clothes in Arizona, where its 100+ degrees. Why are we embarrassed to be naked? And don't try to say it was something taught over time, because something as complex as embarrassment for being naked, is an absolutely foreign notion to any species, save humans. I feel like typing this out is pretty pointless but if anyone wants to reply I'd love to talk about this stuff
There does not logically have to be a creator. That just creates a chicken-or-egg scenario. Who created the creator? If the creator can have existed forever, then why can't the universe itself? Maybe there have always been an infinite procession of bang/crunch cycles.

But even if I grant that there was a creator, that is a far cry from lending credence to all the other specifics of Christi[n]anity. All those beliefs really are made up from nothing. In other words, even if there is a creator, who's to say it's YOUR specific creator?

At the end of...
At the end of the day, not one of us knows where everything came from, and it's senseless to pretend we do. I embrace the fact that I have no idea, and I refuse to be cowed by religions like yours.
No vagueness in this song... self worship. And considering how perfect this song is along with the other 2 parts, I think self worship is justified. #1 song of 2012, hands down.
