Distracted by the myriad of flashing neon lights
Watching in wonder as thier rythmn drives away my boredom
As my worries and cares float away with the cool evening breeze
Easing the endless mental torment, and the burdens of today
Greed and carnal pleasures I accept without regard to the final cost
As I freely take samples and testers of all that I want and I see
Allowing my to wander about mindlessy, hoping in time to become lost
For I know these disilliusion were never to be continual, to last
But for now I have forgotten all my worries and cares
There are no clouds in my sky, no approaching storm to bring me down
For temporarily I am niether here nor there
Freedom may be just an illusion, but there is where I can be found

Tonight I have found my answer
Tonight I have learned the truth
It is not in all this world's worries and cares
Nor in the beauty of one's youth
It lies hidden within the spirit
Just waiting and wanting to be set free
It's a gentle plea, but can you hear it?
Listen well, for it's melody will bring you peace
The answer may be a hymn, a pslam
And the truth, a simple song of praise
It's words of freedom, teach us how to belong
As upon it's light we may freely gaze
So, look within instead of without
And in time I know there you will find
That there is a victory song, which you can shout
And from you bondage, finally resign

You claim you have no place in your life for foolish supersition
As I watch you cower in fear at the sight of a black cat
In utter stupidity and ignorance I hear you recite the Bloody Mary
Calling out to the Candyman, the Boogieman, ever tormenting the Vampire's bat
Looking over your shoulder I see you daily reading your horoscope
Sneaking into the Mystics' parlour to lay your money down and inquire of her Tarot
With blind abandon you play the role the victim, the abuser and the harlot
Becoming like Judas, you have sold your soul for thirty pieces of silver and your pound of flesh
You have betrayed your faith by falsely claiming hatred of Lucifer and his star
For in secret you seek his guidance and invoke his many names
To his lies and half- truths you have sacrificed your all upon his cursed altar
Pleading in return for your obedience that he bestow upon you som earthly fortune,fame or glory
Why, my friend, do you live out this double standard
As you bow down before the gods of lust, gluttony and greed
With indiffence you have disgraced your family, betrayed your friends,and defiled your nieghbours
You will ever remain blinded and bound by your own ignorance and self-deciet
