Atheist peace

Maybe it's too late for intellectual debate
But a residue of confusion remains
Changing with the times and developmentally tortured minds
Are the average citizen's sources of pain
"Tell me what we're fighting for"

I don't remember anymore
Only temporary reprieve
And the world might cease
If we fail to tame the beast
From the faith that you release
Comes an atheist peace

Political forces rent
Bitter cold winds of discontent
And the modern age emerged triumphantly
But now it seems we've stalled
And it's time to de-evolve
And relive the dark chapters of history
"Tell me what we're fighting for"

No progress ever came from war
Only a false sense of increase
And the world won't wait
For the truth upon a plate
But we're ready now to feast on an atheist peace
