Lyrics

Verse 1
How can you be so certain?
How can you profess to have no doubts?
You live your life of contradiction
Is that what you’re all about?
I know it keeps it so easy
The answers seem so clear
Why bother questioning your choices
when questioning brings you constant fear
Chorus 1
How can we believe?
When they come at us with hatred and with malice?
It's easy to deceive
and hide behind the words of other pious men

Verse 2
The sins of the Father
the patterns of the son
Such powerful reinforcement
The framework of everything you’ve done
Chorus 2
How can we believe?
When they come at us with hatred and with malice?
It's easy to deceive
and hide behind the words of other pious men
There is no reprieve
from the judgment and misguided fears of others
Determined to believe
In their ill-conceived myopic views of sin
Verse 3
How can you be so certain? (The sins of the Father)
How can you profess to have no doubts? (the patterns of the son)
You live your life of contradiction (Such powerful reinforcement)
Is that what you are all about? (everything you’ve done)
Chorus 3
How can we believe?
When they come at us with hatred and with malice?
It's easy to deceive
and hide behind the words of other pious men
There is no reprieve
from the judgment and misguided fears of others
Determined to believe
In their ill-conceived myopic views of sin
How can we believe?
