Mairi Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Organise(d) Religion(copyright Mairi Innes 2005) I swipe souls from the souless and promise an apocolypse I ask you to worship slashing blissful smiles off frozen lips And you ask me to judge? Just your average vengeful meglomaniac guilty of nothing but fraud Almighty power purely for my own benefit Carefree, hostile, I'm God Chorus Afflict those who stand their ground, taunt those to whom shackles are bound Racial sanitation by segregational means blessing the sane few with prophetical dreams be damned those who can't make the right decision that's how I organise my religion I bleed misfortune unto you but easily shift the blame Force the public to be deceived and feel the upmost shame Yet still you want my approval? Always contradicting the written lies about who and what I am So many cultures, so little time So i do as little as i can Chorus Afflict those who stand their ground, taunt those to whom shackles are bound Racial sanitation by segregational means blessing the sane few with prophetical dreams be damned those who can't make the right decision that's how I organise my religion Effortlessly convincing those to read the lies they believe but don't understand Nodding their heads, closing their eyes Knealing before where i stand Yet still they don't realise? It's such a jest, this gargantuan charade No one realises that i'm a fraud Almighty power at my own disposal What larks, look at me, i'm God. ok, thoughts please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I haven't posted, or even read anything on this forum in months, but this one caught my eye when I saw it on the main page. It maintains a fascinating theme & stays within the boundaries of its unique point, despite the typo in the title. I give it a 9.5 out of 10.

MindCrime Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 What typo? Do you mean 'Organised'? Mairi is from the UK - thats how we spell it over here.. Actually I was referring to the missing "I" in religion, but I suppose that could be misinterpreted, and something I didn't know. You see, I learn something new each day here on Songfacts. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addictedtoclassic Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Mairi this is awesome. It really paints a picture of how someone starts their own little cult and how others seem to just follow in the footsteps oblivious to what's really going on. So original that I can't compare it to anything. Wonderful, well thought out, very descriptive, fantastic alliteration, very powerful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
