The New Priesthood Lyrics by Dark Angel

Time Does Not Heal

1991

[Verse 1]
History's shown you that answers can't be found above
Life's great questions are tackled only by us
Knowledge of mysteries that puzzle your learned men of the cloth
We've explanations that men of God can't fathom
Searching for your destiny in a book that's not reality
We solve the Earth's problems through our science and technology
[verse 2]
Look back one thousand years when science was in its infancy
The church had the word, the world was forced to heed
How many times they led astray, their flock was shown no mercy
"It's God's will", not good enough, minds were closed ignorantly
We are here to shed the light and your savior's powerless to fight
You must realize that your theology is wrong and we are right
Accept it, for it's proven and the truth is for all to see
Scientifically, we'll answer any question there could be
[Chorus]
Obviously you don't see that we've become your deities
Can't you see that we are your new priesthood?
Blinded by your piety and impotent divinity
Recognize that we are your new priesthood
[Verse 3]
Religious dogma that's confused and shackled you
Searching through the good book, not knowing what's the truth
You're only innocent, raised servile and unaware
Unconversant to what is really out there
Humanity must be erudite but not only from books should it gain insight
Through practice of sound philosophy comes cognizance of man's own plight
This you won't find in your church or your faith
Though science has always attempted to explicate
[Chorus]
Obviously you don't see that we've become your deities
Can't you see that we are your new priesthood?
Blinded by your piety and impotent divinity
Recognize that we are your new priesthood
[Post-Chorus]
Intelligence is lacking in your realm
That is why we've come to take the helm
[Verse 4]
As you have seen, you cannot turn to God for the solution
Mankind has thrust himself into a sick position, lack of vision
To those who blanket and surround themselves with gullibility, there will be severity
Yet again we will achieve the answers
Because we are more than God
[Bridge]
As you kneel and pray
Genuflect our way
Try and feel your way
Without our guidance someday
[Verse 5]
History's shown you that answers can't be found above
Life's great questions are tackled only by us
Knowledge of mysteries that puzzle your learned men of the cloth
We've explanations that men of God can't fathom
Searching for your destiny in a book that's not reality
We have solved the Earth's problems through our science and technology
We see the things that you can't find in your faith
We are in command with men like Hawking leading the way
[Chorus]
Obviously you don't see that we've become your deities
Can't you see that we are your new priesthood?
Blinded by your piety and impotent divinity
Recognize that we are your new priesthood
