1. AS YOURSELF

Love your neighbor as yourself


2. HIGH HORSE

Speaking in a loud voice
Preaching from a high horse

The verdict is declared
Without hesitation
No sign of doubt
Not much thought given

Refusing to relate
To those you’ve learned to hate

The verdict is declared
Without hesitation
No sign of doubt
Not much thought given

Quickly jumping to conclusions
Peace this way is but an illusion


3. IN THE DARK

You ever think you’re so clever
But as I hear you speaking
I get the impression that
You miss out on the very basics

What is it
That keeps you
So strongly
In the dark

At least you don’t leave anybody else in the dark
You keep letting us all know of what is in your head

What is it that keeps you
So strongly in the dark
What is it that prevents you
From seeing who you really are

Remove the blindfold
From your eyes
Open your arms to
Embrace the light
Remove the blindfold
From your eyes
And let reality
Enter your mind


4. GOOD INTENTIONS

Building on good intentions
Supporting one’s delusion

Assisting them to make
Fatally wrong decisions

Setting course on a dangerous path
The end of which is yet unknown
But once we see it, it might
Be too late to turn back

Building on good intentions
Guiding others in directions

That may easily turn out
To be a road to hell

Setting course on a dangerous path
The end of which is yet unknown
But once we see it, it might
Be too late to turn back

Time to stop and think
Where are we heading
Time to stop and ask
Where will it all end


5. REDEFINING EVERYTHING

What an ironic age
It is to live in
I see contradictions
Wherever I’m just turning

From questioning everything
We have come a long way to
Redefining everything
With no questions allowed

Open mindedness today
Seems to mean nothing but
Being open to
Indoctrination

While living a delusion
Some offer solutions
For those who are much less
In need of a cure

While posing as the defenders
Of humanity’s freedom
Some have become the new dictators
Oppressing people


6. THE ECHO

Preconceived notions
Presupposition
You’re just too busy with your
Preconceptions

Carefully adjusting
Adjusting everything
That happens around you
To what is inside

Filtering through all the input
Keeping only what fits
Into the picture you have already
Painted within your mind

Carefully adjusting
Adjusting everything
That happens around you
To what is inside
Carefully adjusting
Adjusting everything
Conveniently ignoring
All data you don’t like

Speaking your mind
To let the whole world know
Except for those who have
A different point of view

Screaming your mind
Into the world around you
Waiting for the echo
To re-assure you


7. DOOMSDAY PROPHET

Cashing in on the desperation
Of those who have got tired of waiting
Shamelessly taking the holiest name
In vain

Doomsday prophet
Selling your lies
Doomsday prophet
Inventing ‘signs’
Doomsday prophet
Sanity dies
Doomsday prophet
They don’t realize

They want to see a sign
That would affirm their beliefs
They want to hear what satisfies
Satisfies their itching ears

Doomsday prophet
Selling your lies
Doomsday prophet
Inventing ‘signs’
Doomsday prophet
Sanity dies
Doomsday prophet
They don’t realize


8. TO OTHERS

Do to others as you would have them do to you
