Not So Blind
It's hard when you see, to not be so blind
We understand things, so all of mankind
Looks down upon us, they think us unwell
They judge us, forsake us, then claim us to hell
They claim they are saved by divine intervention
But I'm not so blind, that is not your intention
Within walls you seek power, not piece from within
You contradict your definitions of sin
I won't try to change you, like you've done to me
Won't make you take my faith, won't force you to see
So you keep your religion, I'll keep what faiths are mine
For it's my fate to see, to not be so blind
