Boldly stand erect

To make an idol of a book
Is poison for the brain
A dying God upon a cross
Is reason gone insane

Beware of all the Holy books
And all the creeds and schools
And every law that man has made
And all the golden rules

Always think your own thought
All other thoughts reject
Learn to use your own brain
And boldly stand erect

"Laws" and "Rules" imposed on you
From days of old renown
Are not interested for your "good"
But for your crushing down

Then dare to rend the chains that bind
And to yourself be true
Dare to liberate your mind
From all things, old and new
