Borrowed Capital
by Tortured Conscience

Album: One Law One King

Atheistic bankruptcy
Using borrowed currency
Cannot ground the absolutes
Can't make sense of any truth
Knowing what Good has shown
His existence is all known
Embracing the absurd
No excuses will be heard
Bringing up Theodicy
Complaints about morality
As if there are any "oughts"
Explaining "why" you cannot
You cannot have it both ways
Consistency you betray
Morality cannot exist
Without God it's man-made mist
Claiming we are an accident
All the while you're the activist
You judge between the good and bad
But there is no standard to be had
As an atheist yes, you can be moral
You can recognize between the good and the evil
But you cannot tell me any reason why we should
Why is any one action bad or good?
If we are truly just evolved stardust
Why the obligations? Nothing else has a "must"
Lions kill, they do not "murder." They do not hold the blame
So why are we wrong by doing just the same?
Sharks will forcibly copulate
But they do not commit "rape"
Some in the wild have eaten their young
But "infanticide" has not been done
Many debates have dealt with this issue
But no one has an answer to why they commit to
Something they cannot defend rationally
Instead they sit back and say that we're in the fantasy
They just claim a non-belief
"That's not good enough" their motif
They claim that they "don't have a worldview to
Have to defend." Its something they cannot do
Why are we held to a different, man-made standard?
As if we answer to someone we must pander?
A non-existent God means there cannot be morality
It could not exist in any objective reality
You cannot have it both ways
Consistency you betray
Morality cannot exist
Without God it's man-made mist
