In The Name Of God

How can this be?
Why is he the chosen one?
Saint gone astray
With a scepter and a gunLearn to believe
In the mighty and the strong
Come, bleed the beast
Follow me it won't be longListen when the prophet speaks to you
Killing in the name of God
Passion twisting faith into violence
In the name of GodStraight is the path
Leading to your salvation
Slaying the weak
Ethnic eliminationAny day we'll all be swept away
You'll be saved as long as you obey
Lies, tools of the devil inside
Written in Holy disguise
Meant to deceive and divide us allListen when the prophet speaks to you
Killing in the name of God
Passion twisting faith into violence
In the name of GodBlurring the lines between virtue and sin
They can't tell where God ends and mankind begins
They know no other life but this
From the cradle they are claimedListen when the prophet speaks to you
Killing in the name of God
Passion twisting faith into violence
In the name of GodHundreds of believers
Lured into a doomsday cult
All would perish in the name of GodSelf-proclaimed messiah
Led his servants to their death
Eighty murdered in the name of GodForty sons and daughters
Un-consenting plural wives
Perversions in the name of GodUnderground religion
Turning toward the mainstream light
Blind devotion in the name of GodJustifying violence
Citing from the Holy Book
Teaching hatred in the name of GodListen when the prophet speaks to you
Killing in the name of God
Passion twisting faith into violence
In the name of God
In the name of GodReligious beliefs, fanatic obsession
Does following faith lead us to violence?
Unyielding crusade, divine revelation
Does following faith lead us to violence?
