i've been listening to the Christian hardcore band,
Sinai Beach, since i got one of their albums, "When Breath Escapes", the weekend before last. aside from the brilliant technical proficiency, many of the songs have very moving lyrics. Here are the lyrics to "Humanity":
Sinai Beach - "Humanity"
Man
Has been fooled by his own brain.
Man's been deceived. He's gone insane.
He's given away his soul.
Exchanged the glory of
The immortal
For the self-indulgent lies
Of the futile.
So that fools may become wise
In their foolish wisdom.
And the wise
Be made foolish
In the fool's kingdom.
Man
Loves to think that he knows all.
His religion of science.
I guess
You can teach the earth to understand
When you make things up.
Can't shove a square
Into a circle
Anymore than a
Monkey into a man.
And the wise
Are made foolish.
Man
Loves to think that he knows all.
His religion of science.
I guess
You can teach the earth to understand
When you make things up.
In serving
A useless non-existent cause
To it's useless
Non-existent end
Man became an infant
And crawled back to
The womb.
He's gone insane,
Fooled by his own.
