Copycat Interlude - Da Truth Lyrics

I remember when I was in my western civilization class
I struggled junior year college because it was the first time I was exposed
To the deluge stories and that was the first time I was exposed to greek
Mythological stories that has predated the biblical historical creation accounts
I literally I wrestled I closed my Bible I just wrestled with God in prayer
For weeks a close friend of mine just recently you know started questioning and

Into the emergence into the Roman empire it’s not mythology this is specific pre-written prophecy in history so exact you see so these are the stories that I think the Bible is the book of history. It’s just a very reckless and uh pardon my using the word a sophomoric dismissal
Of the historic facts of the christian faith
