Godless O KANENAS

A 9/8 heavy rock song talking about the hypocrisy often found in societies where godliness and piety are often used to benefit those who preach it.

Lyrics:

I ‘ve cut my coinage in your name
I ‘ve sewn my dreams to suit you
I ‘ve given you land for shiny beads
And you say I’m pretending
And that I’m out to fool you

You kiss the hand you cannot cut
And pray to God to break it
Well I like kissing other lips
So God does me no favors
Some find their way some make it

I’ll take my boat out to the sea
And let my star to guide me
I’ll throw all pretense to the wind
If there’s a shore she ‘ll find me
If there’s a shore she ‘ll find me

I’m getting tired of all this talk
And now I’m feeling restless
My feet weren’t made to stand but walk
So waste my time no longer
Just write me off as Godless

I’ll take my boat out to the sea
And let my star to guide me
I’ll throw all pretense to the wind
If there’s a shore she ‘ll find me
If there’s a shore she ‘ll find me

I’ll take my boat out to the sea
And let my star to guide me
I’ll throw all pretense to the wind
If there’s a shore she ‘ll find me
If there’s a shore she ‘ll find me
