[Dream Theater - In the name of god - live at budokan 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
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
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?
Woah oh woah
"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!
His truth is marching on"
(The Battle Hymn of the Republic)
