How can this be?
Why is he the chosen one?
Saint gone astray,
With a scepter and a gun
Learn to believe
In the mighty and the strong
Come bleed the beast
Follow me it won't be long
Listen,
When the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing
In the name of God
Passion
Twisting
Faith into
Violence
In the name of God
Straight is the path,
Leading to your salvation
Slaying the weak,
Ethnic elimination
Any 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 all
Listen,
When the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing
In the name of God
Passion
Twisting
Faith into
Violence
In the name of God
Blurring 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 claimed
Listen,
When the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing
In the name of God
Passion
Twisting
Faith into
Violence
In the name of God
Hundreds of believers,
Lured into a doomsday cult
All would perish
In the name of God
Self-proclaimed messiah,
Led his servants
To their death
Eighty murdered
In the name of God
Forty sons and daughters,
Unconsenting plural wives,
Perversions
In the name of God
Underground religion,
Turning toward
The mainstream light,
Blind devotion
In the name of God
Justifying violence,
Citing from the Holy Book,
Teaching hatred
In the name of God
Listen,
When the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing
In the name of God
Passion
Twisting
Faith into
Violence
In the name of God
Religious beliefs,
Fanatic obsession,
Does following faith
Lead us to violence?
Unyielding crusade,
Divine revelation,
Does following faith
Lead us to violence?
