Search Division - Behind Empty Skies

Beyond the boundaries
Of what is known
Millions of faithful tune in at home
Confuse fact and fiction
They sell their souls
And they love every lie
That they have ever been told

They claim to know the minds of their gods
And be the conduits for supernatural laws
They claim special favor through Bronze Age flaws
How can their faith have
Fooled them for so long

From prophecies that end all time
To conspiracy theories of limited mind
A miraculous claim is a thin disguise
It's just a promise that lies
Behind empty skies

Do they have super-psychic biochemistry
Or ancient alien technology
Is it epidemic dishonesty
Or just iconic radio wave blasphemy
They claim on cable TV

Some can see right through the fraud
But most accept the lie as law
Plant the skeptic seeds
And watch the fragile fall
And join the ghosts of forgotten
And unworshiped gods
They can't know what cannot be known

Their proclamations lack the evidence
And have questionable provenance
The claim of heavenly design
Is just a promise that lies
Behind empty skies
Some watch the world through eyes
That have gone blind
