Faith versus reason
Lyrics & Music: Per Malmberg

Head:
Confusion, confusion, this pain inside me, I can not see clear anymore
Solution, solution, I need to be free from this growing, internal war
Confusion, confusion keeps filling my mind, I don’t know on which leg to lean
Conclusion, conclusion, I’m deaf, dumb and blind in a world indescribably mean

Faith:
Trust me, I trust you, we trust in the lord, we lay down our lives in his care
Believe that all good will prevail in the end, that our father is waiting up there
We know that a better life’s waiting above, our souls are eternally blessed
Because we believe in the almighty God, because of the sins we’ve confessed

Reason:
Religion is something invented by man to explain what he can’t understand
As soon as there’s something he just can not grasp, the answer lies in daddy’s hand
Mysterious and strange are the ways of the Lord, just look at the world of today
His creation is aiming to destroy itself while good God looks the other way

Faith:
Free will was given by God onto man to easily see who is juste
Can you not see that it’s part of the plan? Man himself turns man to dust

Reason:
How can you have faith in something like that, there’s no proof to support your case
You’ll never be able to make me convinced, we’re eternally lost in this maze

Choir:
Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison

Faith:
The essence of my faith lies in your own words, the foundation is what you just said
Belief without knowing is the only way to sleep in God’s heavenly bed

Reason:
That is no option, I demand some proof, I think you would like that as well

Faith:
How dare you to imply that my faith is not strong. If you do, then damn you to hell

Reason:
All I am saying is we’ll never be able to see eye to eye
It’s sad that we can’t find a way to agree, it would be easier for us to get by
Inside this head which we both call our home, I’m earth, you reach for the sky
We’ll just have to wait for the big day to come, when this body of ours will die
