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 k**ing in the name of God Pa**ion, 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 k**ing in the name of God Pa**ion, 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 k**ing in the name of God Pa**ion, 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 d**h 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 k**ing in the name of God Pa**ion, 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)
