In The Name Of God Lyrics

    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
    Un-consenting 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?
