Lyrics
"Man's Flawed Mind"
(Lyrics: Chuck Webster - Music: Mark Novak)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
The humans were flawed in a way of cognition
They failed to understand their natural world
Superstition dimmed their perception,
With a lack of control their emotions swirled
Giving willful intentions to natures ways
They projected powers onto things
When nature roared on disastrous days
People knew it came from gods with wings
If gifts were given to natures dominion
They felt a blessing would be returned
As nature had no sense of reciprocation
Failing a return the lesson was never learned
With no sense of control they were under a spell
Obedience to the voices in them
When the voices were heard their actions compelled
Voices believed to be gods now controlled them
Man’s flawed mind
CHORUS:
Man's Flaws - Primal thinking without blinking
Mans Flaws
Mans Flaws - Childhood imprinting loss of free thinking
Mans Flaws
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
gods of many forms were then being implored
The Guardian dismayed by laws broken,
Gifts were offered for favors and the sword
Forgiveness sold, words left unspoken.
The myths broke down when all gods became one
Telling them that a rib and dirt was their history
The-guardian lost control with what man had done
A man-made deity, hidden in mystery.
These faults set man on a deadly path
Killing their own for no reason or meaning
Centuries of fighting left millions in a blood bath
No reasons were valid there’s only screaming
Chorus:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
