Some people like to call it having spirit
And others call it possession
And still others claim a psychosis
But what I see is a chronic hypnosis

Habituate an opiate fix
Constant infusion of a doctrine
Mangled in time by the righteous
A cross splintered by the factions

Chorus
Blinded by the light
Guilt-ridden with fear
Sell your soul for salvation
Blinded by the light
Infected with fear
Sell your soul for salvation

Deny the things that make us human
Implications for an unknown god
Sanctioned chance to judge and to condemn
The leather beaters only know pain

Habituate an opiate fix
Constant infusion of a doctrine
Mangled in time by the righteous
A cross splintered by the factions

Chorus
Blinded by the light
Infected with fear
Guilt ridden with fear
Sell your soul for salvation
