New lyrics: 2 Thessalonians 2:11

Like yesterday, it's a similar envirnoment and situation. Sitting on a Coach. Can see the landscape slide past out the corner of my eye. Have my white headphones in listening, again, to 'Money' by Innerpartysystem, remixed by Cenob1te. A slight digression, but on this journey the lovely musicians from Cenob1te contacted me via Twitter to say thanks for my comments. Absolutely lovely people. Can also see some head and limbs moving around by the other passengers. But this story begins from first thing this morning, 5.15am to be precise.

Try to be as quiet as I could, as not to wake my wife. We've only been residing in our new home for just over a week. I have to travel constantly now to get to and from work. So I left at 5.45am, walking to the bus station and thought I'd try writing a new song. Wiping my tired eyes and trying to not allow myself to get annoyed by the wind blowing my hair all over the place, I took out my Blackberry and began thinking of ideas. I thought about lies, and who the biggest liar is in the world. I couldn't think. So I googled it. Turns out there is a 'biggest lair competition' in this country. Crazy stuff. Anyway, I thought 'who could be the biggest liar ever'?

I thought about religion. I thought, people blindly believe and follow a figurehead they've never seen. Ok, some say it's not an individual or physical being etc, but still. I'd regard myself an atheist. I'm a scientific man. An evolution guy. Then I thought about thee supposed 'God' him/her/itself, and thought about searching the bible for any references to God actually lying (which I thought I'd be wrong about...), and it turns out, he/she/it did! In a part of it called '2 Thessalonians 2:11'. I couldn't believe it. There can never be a bigger liar than a God. I'm sure in some other cultures there is a god of lies. But our cultures god, is a liar.

So this new set of lyrics is a subjective and objective Villanelle poem about my feelings towards religion and God, and how essentially, I will not believe in something you will a) try and force me to believe in and b) have no proof of existence.

2 Thessalonians 2:11

I will not believe your truth,
Your maker is the greatest lie the world knows,
A belief is nothing without proof,

Your God of deceit, throwing at you Satan's judgement,
In a most far-fetched and ridiculous prose,
I will not believe your truth,

Enter into an unrequited agreement,
Converse with an apparition that never shows,
A belief is nothing without proof,

The warring nature of man comes from all statement
That deplores those who do not follow, instead grows,
I will not believe your truth,

Cordially invited to the god and satan engagement,
Sin and truth mixed above and below,
A belief is nothing without proof,

When a loved one dies, and you stare in bewilderment,
Science will extrapolate like overhanging crows,
I will not believe your truth,
A belief is nothing without proof,

Written from 5.50am to 6.25pm on Saturday 20th of August 2011 from Edinburgh to Glasgow, and then later from Glasgow to Edinburgh listening to a combination of 'Other Lives', 'Airborne Toxic Event' and 'Cenob1te'. Written in the style of a Villanelle Poem.

I'm quite happy with these lyrics. I'm also enjoying writing lyrics in different poetic styles. It is allowing me to write differently. I absolutely cannot wait to start writing the music for this. I have so many ideas and want to start. Badly.
