Ocean
Metaphysics of the Hangman
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?
