Architecture Of Aggression - Memetaphage lyrics

Religion a thought contagion A memetic virus, virus of faith Spread by disciples Acting as viral carriers A virulent meme infecting populations It's main ambition to replicate and spread It brooks no competition Eradicating opposing views Like AIDS spreading from parent to child And to other members of the community Inflicting itself on each generation Perpetuating its corruption ad infinitum Like a virus, a filthy parasitic organism Completely selfish, prevailing in exclusivity Malicious and greedy using its host carriers For its own selfish ends Like AIDS spreading from parent to child And to other members of the community Inflicting itself on each generation Perpetuating its corruption ad infinitum Quick and aggressive indoctrination The human cost is high Leaving shattered lives in it's wake In the quest for dominion Executions, murders, purges In the name of God Memetaphage The written word a paradox Its agent and its captor Memetaphage Accessibility at the price of stagnation Memetaphage "It is a meme set in stone, incongruous with our modern time Like an insect trapped in amber Thoughts trapped for 4000 years unable to evolve" Like the common cold it is everywhere Invading our lives at every turn To be free of it we need only build immunity Freedom to brush it aside!
