I tell you Jesus Christ was just an ordinary man But he was wise, much wiser than the rest
The few to see wrote tales 'bout him but time perverted it all The banner's changed, the world ain't changed at all Forced to fight for law and order In the name of God to slaughter
Living in this world could be a life in hell They're around everywhere, can't you tell?
Echoes of evil
You know, they don't know what it is when they talk 'bout the law The rights are wrong when only riches rule You hear them say we're civilized but still blacks are slaves When money talks they won't hear all the cries
Forced to fight with law and order In the name of God to slaughter
Dying at the front is tradition, you know Just like fathers and grandfathers did
Echoes of evil
We're men – we're bound to fail but we can learn it The ones who never face it will stay blind We gained too much by science but we can't use it Prepare your mind to stop before it's to late
The preacher's done the rites of Christ for a thousand years or more Believes in personified gods Does he fear waking up to see it's not so easy Opposing good 'n' bad as he did?
Forced to fight with law and order In the name of God to slaughter
What is religion – shit in your brain A blade of straw in oceans of life Don't follow leaders, no matter what side Though it's harder to live your ideals
