I haven't released anything in a while because I was away from my normal computer for the holiday week... but here's the song that continues the theme of religion in the middle of the From Alpha to Omega album.

The inspiration for this song came when I was at a church meeting at my university - to me, it felt too much like a lesson on how to convert people, rather than just how to be strong with your own beliefs.

I was raised in a very relaxed and liberal branch of Christianity, but it still saddens me to see how much harm that organized religions (or, more accurately, the more fanatical of their followers) have caused throughout history. As long as it does not involve harm to others, I want people to believe in what they want rather than what other people tell them, and to leave others alone to do the same.

Again, this unfortunately isn't a song that I consider among my best work, but it's something a bit different. The rhythm guitar sample isn't actually used at all, giving it a much lighter sound.

[Lyrics]

To take the righteous path, the goal of man
But what road shall we follow
There is a way to paradise
The path we don't yet know
And in this world there are many ways
We all search for the light
The only thing that I want is
To know what's wrong and right

So why do you tell me to follow your word
There's a right to disagree
Isn't my way as good as yours
Can't you let the others be

What gives us the right to think we're the ones
To rescue the rest from sin
Are we the devils or angels, the demons or gods
Are we evil or good within

I know that some of you believe like me
But can't you think on your own
Choose your own path, make your own way
The right one is unknown

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
What became of your old law
If there is a god as I believe
May he forgive you all

What gives us the right to think we're the ones
To rescue the rest from sin
Are we the devils or angels, the demons or gods
Are we evil or good within

I've found my true self and I don't have to follow
I heard salvation's call
If there is a god as I believe
May he forgive us all

What gives us the right to think we're the ones
To rescue the rest from sin
Are we all evil, the demons, or saviors and gods
Are we evil or good within

Devils and angels, the cursed or the gods
Are we evil or good within
