Corrupted Text Video (MV)

Telling lies to cause wonder
One of the oldest pastimes of mankind
Try to distract the mind from thinking
Too deeply about the cares that weigh us down

Recounting marvelous tales and strange delusions
Unlimited thirst for fantasy
Disbelieving the facts they see
In exchange for an exhausted false reality

Impelled on by groundless hope
Naively expressed as evidence
Astonished listeners re-tell fanciful legends
Might as well be fairy tales of little girls
Staring out to Neverland
Textual distortion in their hands
A false translation misunderstood
Echoes of corrupted text

Staring into the sun
Focused on the need for meaning
Dreaming yet not asleep...
Mind seared by false teachings

The wisps of dreams from another world
Steeped in delusion
Weighing in their lives down

What can't be proven lacks claim to truth
Steeped in delusion- entrancing sacred ruse!

Ignore their claims that contradict reason
Guard and revere respect for truth
Zealots emboldened to say
That by their faith alone
The words in doubt are proven true
When they can't even understand the language
The ancient texts were written in
Well-intentioned, and yet misled
Platonic passed off as Christian

What's in a vision is not really true
A figment of imaginings
Symbolic but not real
(Reciting vague words
As if they had deep meaning)
Unknown: the text
Originally written by the men
Foundational concepts redefined
A clever ancient lie
Shrewdly misinterred
Echoes of corrupted text
