Metaphysics Of The Hangman

On their long journey that leads them toward the light
Winston Smith shall be their guide
They are trying so hard to believe that two and two makes five

Reason won't concuss the irrevocable truth
And if there's contradiction
Keep the faith, burn the proof

To protect ourselves from the superstitions of priests and moralists
And the trickery of evangelists
Let us be done with the idea of moral law

Where do your values come from?
From inside yourself?
Or from some self-appointed moral cognoscentes
Who disguised their own ideas
As universal concepts?

God is dead

Where do your values come from?
From inside yourself?
Or from some self-appointed moral cognoscentes
Who disguised their own ideas
As universal truth?
