Christ-shun Verse 1 It’s really quite obvious Once you see through it The illusion they created And the way they pursued it They told us about Antichrist Like we should be afraid But what if everything they taught us Was the opposite of what he gave? Christ taught love Christ taught truth Christ taught something That could set you loose So if the teaching makes you smaller If it tells you not to think If it asks you to surrender Every thought before you blink Chorus Christ-shun Christ-shun Anti what Christ had begun Turn your brain off Follow the one Don’t ask questions Just do what you’re told Christ-shun Christ-shun But I won’t surrender mine You can keep your doctrine I’ll keep searching For the divine Verse 2 They tell you what to believe They tell you what to say They tell you where the line is Then they tell you to obey And everybody keeps repeating What somebody said before But Christ didn’t say Don’t question Christ opened up the door So I keep asking questions I keep digging underneath I want the living mystery Not a doctrine I repeat Chorus Christ-shun Christ-shun Anti what Christ had begun Turn your brain off Follow the one Don’t ask questions Just do what you’re told Christ-shun Christ-shun I won’t surrender mine If Christ is living Then the kingdom Can’t be somewhere else to find Verse 3 Body broken Blood poured out Sacrament and symbol Passed around A body on a cross Hanging from my neck For years I wondered What the hell Are we remembering yet? Is it slavery? Is it suffering? Is it persecution? Is it love? Is the cross a warning Of what happens When you challenge power from above? I’ll keep wearing my cross But I’ll wear it differently Not as a mark of obedience But as a memory Bridge You couldn’t kill the message You couldn’t bury love You couldn’t put the kingdom Somewhere far above You can build another temple You can write another rule But you cannot own the consciousness Living inside the human soul Breakdown Don’t tell me what to think Don’t tell me what to see Don’t tell me that the divine Lives somewhere outside of me If Christ means love If Christ means truth Then let the dead ideas die And let the living Come back through Final Chorus Christ-shun Christ-shun No more worship of the gun No more fear No more shame No more hiding From the flame I will keep my cross But now I know why It reminds me of the ones Who were persecuted For refusing the lie We’re coming Not for vengeance Not for blood We’re coming to remember What was taken from us Humanity Outro Christ-shun Or Christ You choose The doctrine Or the truth The cage Or the door The dead symbol Or the living core Humanity.
