The Grand Inquisitor IV: Exclusion From Redemption

Are you ready to face your greatest mistake
The one that sealed humanity's fate?
When you resisted the devil's temptations
You gave every good man affliction

You excluded us from redemption
And doomed humanity to death and destruction

You chose freedom and virtue
But you misjudged human nature
The majority of men can't cope with
What you gave them

We'll lead humanity
Down the same old trail
But every man will be
Blithe, along the way
Blithe and ignorant

Oh, Jesus, we improved thy work
And founded it upon
Miracle and mystery
And authority

For anyone who can appease a man's troubled conscience
Can take his freedom away from him
