Metaphysics Of The Hangman - The Ocean

On their long journey that leads them

Towards the light

Winston Smith shall be their guide

They’re trying so hard to believe

That two and two always makes five

(That two and two makes five.)

Reason won’t concuss the irrevocable truth

And if there’s contradiction

Keep the faith, burn the proof

To protect ourselves from the

Superstitions of priests and moralists and the

Trickery of evangelists;

Let us be done with the idea

Of moral law

Where do your values come from?

From inside yourself?

Or from some self-appointed moral cognoscentes

Who disguised their own ideas

As universal concepts?

God is dead

Where do your values come from?

From inside yourself?

Or from some self-appointed moral cognoscentes

Who disguised their own ideas

As universal truth?

(Tried so hard to believe)

(Two and two make five)

Reason won’t concuss the irrevocable truth

And if there’s contradiction

Keep the faith, burn the proof

God is dead

Where do your values come from?

From inside yourself?

Or from some self-appointed moral cognoscentes

Who disguised their own ideas

As universal truth?
