The Voracious March Of Godliness Lyrics - No Substance - Rancid

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's 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 oh 

The voracious march of godliness 

Makes us all the same anyway 

All the same oh 

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 victor seized the day 

And the haunting voice of history lives ignored but not betrayed oh 

The voracious march of godliness 

Will get us close to heaven one day 

Some day oh 

The voracious march of godliness 

The voracious march of godliness 

The voracious march of godliness 

The voracious march of godliness 

The voracious march of godliness 

The voracious march of godliness 

The voracious march of godliness 

Makes us all the same anyway 

All the same oh
