In the Name of God - Dream Theater

Lyrics by John PetrucciHow can this be?Why is he the chosen one?Saint gone astrayWith a scepter and a gunLearn to believeIn the mighty and the strongCome bleed the beastFollow me it won't be longListen when the prophetSpeaks to youKilling in the name of GodPassionTwisting faith into violenceIn the name of GodStraight is the pathLeading to your salvationSlaying the weakEthnic eliminationAny day we'll all beSwept awayYou'll be savedAs long as you obeyLiesTools of the devil insideWritten in Holy disguiseMeant to deceive and divideUs allListen when the prophetSpeaks to youKilling in the name of GodPassionTwisting faith into violenceIn the name of GodBlurring the linesBetween virtue and sinThey can't tellWhere God endsAnd mankind beginsThey know no otherLife but thisFrom the cradleThey are claimedListen when the prophetSpeaks to youKilling in the name of GodPassionTwisting faith into violenceIn the name of GodHundreds of believersLured into a doomsday cultAll would perishIn the name of GodSelf-proclaimed messiahLed his servantsTo their deathEighty murderedIn the name of GodForty sons and daughtersUn-consenting plural wivesPerversionsIn the name of GodUnderground religionTurning towardThe mainstream lightBlind devotionIn the name of GodJustifying violenceCiting from the Holy BookTeaching hatredIn the name of GodListen when the prophetSpeaks to youKilling in the name of GodPassionTwisting faith into violenceIn the name of GodReligious beliefsFanatic obsessionDoes following faithLead us to violence?Unyielding crusadeDivine revelationDoes following faithLead us to violence?
