Dimentia Lyrics

Dimentia lyrics

[K. Bachman / J. Daub / J. Winters / D. Mann]



Reason argues the existence of God

If the incarnate was crucified

The dialectical paradox concludes

That God has already died <i>[1]



The very nature of man's independence

Implies accountability for one's actions <i>[2]

My decision to be free or not to be

Reveals the magnitude of my freedom <i>[3]



Where is the wise man

Scholar of this age?

Their dementia calls

From their dimension



Freud argued that God is but mere illusion

Our need for some cosmic comforter

To resolve our deepest childhood neurosis

A belief based wholly on an unfulfilled wish <i>[4]



Or is this world a random occurrence

A change reshuffling of matter?

Particles in motion in a corner of the universe

The origin of life and evolution an accident? <i>[5]



Where is the wise man

Scholar of this age?

Their dementia calls

Leading men to the grave

Where is the wise man

Scholar of this age?

Their dementia calls

From their dimension
