Follow your common sense
You cannot hide yourself
Behind a fairytale
Forever and ever
Only by revealing the
Whole truth can we disclose
The soul of this sick bulwark
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
Indoctrinated minds
So very often contain
Sick thoughts and commit most
Of the evil they preach against
Don't try to convince me
With messages from God
You accuse us of sins
Committed by yourselves
It's easy to condemn
Without looking in the mirror
Behind the scenes
Opens reality
Eternal silence
Cries out for justice
Forgiveness is not for sale
Nor is the will to forget
Follow your common sense
You cannot hide yourself
Behind a fairytale
Forever and ever
Only by revealing the
Whole truth can we disclose
The soul of this sick bulwark
Forever and ever
Virginity has been stolen
At very young ages
And the extinguisher
Loses its immunity
Morbid abuse of power
In the garden of Eden
Where the apple
Where the apple gets a youthful face
Youthful face
Eternal silence
Cries out for justice
Forgiveness is not for sale
Nor is the will to forget
Follow your common sense
You cannot hide yourself
Behind a fairytale
Forever and ever
Only by revealing the
Whole truth can we disclose
The soul of this sick bulwark
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
Eternal silence
Cries out for justice
Forgiveness is not for sale
Nor is the will to forget
You can't go on
Hiding yourself behind
Old fashioned fairytales
And keep washing your hands in innocence
