lyrics
This world set in your ways
A choice is brought to you
Between the paths of reason and faith
This game's always the same
Accepting your rule
Destroying that crystal clear path to truth
The ministry of lies
Living on borrowed time
I wanna be a scholar
I wanna break down the walls
I want to know
Why do we follow
Such old and ancient rules
Why don't we go
Out into the world now
And prove before we die
That all is wrong
Now is the time
To find the truth unknown
Expel the lie!
With cautionary tales
They cry out to remind
Us of the blindfolds over our eyes
But fantasies beyond
Are calling me by name
Or are they really blasphemous truths?
Who could walk away,
As I'm drawn to my fate
I wanna be a scholar
I wanna break down the walls
I want to know
Why do we follow
Such old and ancient rules
Why don't we go
Out into the world now
And prove before we die
That all is wrong
Now is the time
To find the truth unknown
Expel the lie!
The time has come to decide
The truth must no longer hide
We witness this great lie
Its time has come to die
The ministry of lies
Living on borrowed time
I wanna be a scholar
I wanna break down the walls
I want to know
Why do we follow
Such old and ancient rules
Why don't we go
Out into the world now
And prove before we die
That all is wrong
Now is the time
To find the truth unknown
Expel the lie!
A choice is brought to you
Between the paths of reason and faith
This game's always the same
Accepting your rule
Destroying that crystal clear path to truth
The ministry of lies
Living on borrowed time
I wanna be a scholar
I wanna break down the walls
I want to know
Why do we follow
Such old and ancient rules
Why don't we go
Out into the world now
And prove before we die
That all is wrong
Now is the time
To find the truth unknown
Expel the lie!
With cautionary tales
They cry out to remind
Us of the blindfolds over our eyes
But fantasies beyond
Are calling me by name
Or are they really blasphemous truths?
Who could walk away,
As I'm drawn to my fate
I wanna be a scholar
I wanna break down the walls
I want to know
Why do we follow
Such old and ancient rules
Why don't we go
Out into the world now
And prove before we die
That all is wrong
Now is the time
To find the truth unknown
Expel the lie!
The time has come to decide
The truth must no longer hide
We witness this great lie
Its time has come to die
The ministry of lies
Living on borrowed time
I wanna be a scholar
I wanna break down the walls
I want to know
Why do we follow
Such old and ancient rules
Why don't we go
Out into the world now
And prove before we die
That all is wrong
Now is the time
To find the truth unknown
Expel the lie!
