Lyrics
Metaphysics Of The Hangman
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On their long journey that leads them toward the light
Winston Smith shall be their guide
They are trying so hard to believe that two and two makes five
Reason won't concuss the irrevocable truth
And if there's contradiction
Keep the faith, burn the proof
To protect ourselves from the superstitions of priests and moralists
And the trickery of evangelists
Let us be done with the idea of moral law
Where do your values come from?
From inside yourself?
Or from some self-appointed moral cognoscentes
Who disguised their own ideas
As universal concepts?
God is dead
Where do your values come from?
From inside yourself?
Or from some self-appointed moral cognoscentes
Who disguised their own ideas
As universal truth?
