The Atrocity Exhibition Lyrics - Exodus

The glorious frailty of the human mind 

Leads us to deceive the mother of mankind 

Nature is our master, we serve her through our deeds 

She teaches us that only death is guaranteed 

If there was a hell, there must I ever be 

Eternal life in heaven is but a fallacy 

So if death is nothing, but a path to be trod 

Walk with me and let me introduce you to your God 

Come see an exhibition of atrocity 

An ocean of eternity 

One in which the shore you'll never see 

Or your God of make believe 

You speak to the sky and no one answers back 

And yet you wager the word of God is fact 

The horrors we imagine in vivid clarity 

Become a spectacle, your God's atrocities 

A mirror image, reflection of your soul 

Just nature's play, all her children have a role 

God's an actor, the world nature's stage 

Our fates are scripted like so many 

Letters on a page 

A composition of atrocity 

The Story of Christianity 

A fairy tale of tyranny 

Recipe for catastrophe 

Man's inclination 

Is to bend those who oppose to our will 

Does your great creator think 

The good are better made by ills? 

Dream after dream, time after time 

He who conquers endures 

The grand design of the mother 

We the disease, and her the cure 

Unsatisfied longing for the slaughter 

The master often slays her sons and her daughters 

Death is but and undress of skin and of bone 

When you return to her, no sins to atone 

The ending is the same for the vile and devout 

Let all the poisons that lurk in the mind 

Hatch out 

She has predetermined our end 

Nothing more she will portend
