Bad Religion - The Voracious March of Godliness lyrics
[Bad Religion - The Voracious March of Godliness lyrics]
Since the start of the 17th century
There's been the scent of unseasoned
Wood burning in the air
And the conquest of nature
Meant nothing at all
While we betray exception
We take all that is there
But motives are translucent in
The reflection of shame
The actions ghostly remnants of
Our ancestral ways and unwittingly
You just take your place in this parade
The voracious march of godliness makes
Us all the same anyway
Since the dawn of our human family
There's been concentrated sepsis blowing
In the breeze
And we turned on each other with ferocity
Desperation, forced, without reprieve
But the missions were misguided and
The trammeled led astray
The air resounds with thunder as
The victors seized the day
And the haunting voice of history
Lives ignored but not betrayed
The voracious march of godliness will get
Us close to heaven one day
There's been the scent of unseasoned
Wood burning in the air
And the conquest of nature
Meant nothing at all
While we betray exception
We take all that is there
But motives are translucent in
The reflection of shame
The actions ghostly remnants of
Our ancestral ways and unwittingly
You just take your place in this parade
The voracious march of godliness makes
Us all the same anyway
Since the dawn of our human family
There's been concentrated sepsis blowing
In the breeze
And we turned on each other with ferocity
Desperation, forced, without reprieve
But the missions were misguided and
The trammeled led astray
The air resounds with thunder as
The victors seized the day
And the haunting voice of history
Lives ignored but not betrayed
The voracious march of godliness will get
Us close to heaven one day
