There was a sign around for many years It's universal power was revered Then they twisted it around And all the goodness was bound Now it's a symbol of suffering, death and fear
With their crosses they came into the land Claiming divine authority over man They burned all the books And their culture they took Now the blood of the children's on their hands
It's sad the way the future looks today The old and the young held in it's sway A fanatical whim some call it a sin It will come back upon them anyway
It's lies they're tellin' Yes indeed It's death they're sellin' To feed their greed To believe in something the just will win The light of reason comes burnin' in
It's lies they're tellin' Yes indeed It's death you're smellin' To feed their greed To believe in something the just will win With light of reason comes burnin' in
