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 strongCome bleed the beast
Follow me it won't be longListen when the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing in the name of GodPassion
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 obeyLies
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 GodPassion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of GodBlurring the lines
Between virtue and sin
They can't tell
Where God ends
And making beginsThey know no other
Life but this
From the cradle
They are claimedListen when the prophet
Speaks to you
Killling in the name of GodPassion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of GodHundreds of believers
Lured into a doomsday cultAll would perish
In the name of GodSelf-proclaimed messiah
Led his servants
To their death
Eighty murderedIn the name of God
Forty 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 GodPassion
Twisting faith into violence
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?Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage
Where the grapes of wrath are stored
He hath loosed the fateful lightning
Of his terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
