The Stone II Lyrics
(Intro & Verse)
I try to think back the time
But the sentence in my head
Never gets to the end
The playback is never ending
These were the times I was willing
These were the times you shouldn't have wasted
Just remember things aren't always what they seem
Now is the time to seek propose
Now is the time to seek truth
('Christopher Hitchens versus Tony Blair' Sample)
{
Once you assume a creator and a plan, it makes us objects, in a cruel experiment, whereby we are created sick, and commanded to be well. I’ll repeat that. Created sick, and then ordered to be well. Swift to punish the original sin with which it so tenderly gifted us in the very first place. However, salvation is offered, redemption, indeed, is promised, at the low price of the surrender of your critical faculties. Is it good for the world to appeal to our credulity and not to our skepticism? Is it good for the world to worship a deity that takes sides in wars and human affairs? To appeal to our fear and to our guilt, is it good for the world? To our terror, our terror of death, is it good to appeal? To preach guilt and shame about the sexual act and the sexual relationship, is this good? To terrify children with the image of hell and eternal punishment, not just of themselves, but their parents and those they love. Perhaps worst of all, to consider women an inferior creation, is that good for the world, and can you name me a religion that has not done that? To insist that we are created and not evolved in the face of all the evidence. There will never be peace, they will never compromise, there will instead be misery, shame and tyranny and people will kill each others’ children for ancient books, caves and relics, and who is going to say this is good for the world?

{Instrumental Break 2:24 - 3:28}
These are the lines of suicide
Execution lies in hollowed eyes
These are the lines of suicide
Execution lies in hollowed eyes
These are the lines of suicide
Execution lies in hollowed eyes
These are the lines of suicide
Execution lies in hollowed eyes
{Choir Sings}
