Believe, when you lie
You will never need to recognize yourself
To deceive
To remove all chance of doubt and be received
With your lie
The deception is complete when you concede
And decide
To reject your lives, sacrificed to me

Penance can't absolve your sin
All your belief
Cannot absolve your sin

Believe, when you lie
You will never need to recognize the source
Of deceit
To renew your faith in God
You must believe, in your lie
The redemption is complete when you conceive
And decline
To release your lives
Sacrificed to me

Penance can't absolve your sin All your belief
Cannot absolve your sin

Reap your life, like you want to
recognize, all you've come to

Reap your life
Veiled in shadow
Recognize
Faces of the crucified
I can hear their screams tonight
Ever haunting me

Burn your lie into me

Penance can't absolve your sin
All your belief
Cannot absolve your sin

    Obviously this song is against religion in everything it says. People tend to follow a religion, because if they didn't, they would realize how shitty there lives are, and that they can't accept that what happens to them isn't without a higher being controlling it. And ones who are in a religion don't quit, (not because they believe in their faith) but because if they did, they would realize that they have been wasting their lives/time into nothing.So people blindly believe these fake religions. He's saying that people create these fabricated faiths (a lie) to make them selves feel better, and that they must Believe their "lies" to "renew their faith with God", and that in REAL life, believing in your "faith" doesn't make you clean, blameless or sinless. (all your penance can't absolve your sin, all your belief can't absolve your sin). So don't say this song isn't against religion, because it is. Just because you sad, pathetic religious nuts listen to Disturbed, doesn't mean its going to fit into your beliefs. Just accept the facts, and realize that your a fucking hypocrite every time you listen to one of their songs. Religion can devour people whole, brainwashing them into their pathetic beliefs. So be sensible, I beg you, and drop your religion before it consumes everything that you are.
