SONG..."IN THE NAME OF GOD"

"In the Name of God"
1) Children are cryin, their parents lay dyin, shot down before their eyes
Sirens are wailin, bullets are hailin, explosions light up the skies
Bombs are fallin, tanks are crawlin, the war machine keeps churning
Soldiers unwilling to stop all the killing, everywhere the fires are burning
2) Religion we preach, it's hatred we teach, who do we think we are?
Minds are confused, the word is misused, we're taking things way too far
It's in God's name, we kill and we maim, we say it's for the savior
It's in God's name, we curse and we blame, an excuse for our behavior
Ch) In the name of God…innocent blood is spilled
In the name of God…without a thought, we kill
In the name of God…we're the ones who sin
In the name of God…Armageddon, we begin
3) An eye for an eye, we hurry to die, and for what I don't understand
We slaughter and take, destroy and break, all for a scrap of land
To God we all pray just so we can say, that we understand his will
Words from a page, we use to enrage the legions we send to kill
4) There's just no excuse for all the abuse we inflict upon each other
We can't justify, the deceit and the lies we tell about our brother
Open your mind, blind lead the blind as annihilation draws real near
We're pushed and shoved in the name of above, blood exchanged for tears.
