Protest The Hero - No Stars Over Bethlehem lyrics

This should never be!

I'll burn all the lives
Of this angel illuminati
When St Michael sized means find
An end to justify a belief to fortify this
Stained glass disgrace
Too beautiful to change
Or perhaps too scared
The truth behind our lives will be erased
(Will be erased)

A crusade in (In which to die)
Begging for a crusade in which to die
Where lead locusts pierce the heart of men
And tie the tongues of those who lie
(Those who lie) cut the sinner
Bleed redemption through the city streets
That resonate the prayers of
"This should never be"

This should never be!

Someone plunged a dagger deep
Into God's chest and when he groaned it laid
Our entire civilization to rest
When he pulled out that dagger
And marveled in the pain he could create
We stuck another in his back
And sealed Creation's fate

So now we'll turn from wealth in
The height of all our poverty
A call that renders me ageless
Turning the pages of a belief
That's greater than us all
Greater than us all

Amen to the fools and the Cossacks
And the pulpit's (Amen) amen
To the people who think there's still
A way to help us amen to the people
Amen to the people amen to the people
Amen to the people

Amen to the people amen to the people who
Think there's still a way to help us
