lyrics

is there a world without the sin
its not the world that I am in
we sell atonement and absolution
like fools gold

is this the world we have forsaken
acts of forgiveness and contrition
we offer divinity and reason
like fools gold

its too late to pray, too late to cry
its too late for penance paid to Christ
its too late to subjugate the lies
no words of confession, no afterlife

is there a world without the sin
its not the world that I am in
we search for atonement and absolution
and find fools gold

is this the world we have forsaken
with acts of forgiveness and contrition
we trade in divinity and reason
like fools gold

you know you know you know you know
you know you know you know
you know you know you don't know
you know you know you know

its too late for words no need for confession
when there is no afterlife, no destination
salvation, apparition, cleanse your soul
its too late your reverence awaits
its too late to subjugate your faith / fate

hail Mary please and rosary beads
for your crown of roses
the grace, disgrace, the prayers you face
when you are wounded
the cross and crucifix you are holding
