In the Name of God

In the name of god we try to rule the world
 Bloodshed and murder in the name of our lord
 Engaged with power, weapons silence words
 It's not the truth we follow, it's sacrilege in shape of swords
 It's our misconception
 Of words that preach for tolerance and compassion
 Politicians' dirty hands corrupted what was pure
 Evil is our sickness and sickness is our cure
 Honesty forsaken for the sake of lies
 In the name of god, our redemption is our demise
 Justice confused with malice truth dazed by deceit
 Books of narrow minded fools tell us what to breathe or eat
 Freedom is deception created by their word
 We chain ourselves in sorrow as we follow the herd
 Oh, it's our misconception
 Of words that preach for tolerance and compassion
 We name our murders conquests
 We name our victims foe
 In the name of god
 We'll rip the roots we've sow
 Comprehension not upon us, manipulating truth
 Distorted words of wisdom corrupting our youth
 Ignorance we've nourished, fed our souls with pain
 All we know is blurred reflections of what was once considered sane
 Oh, it's our misconception
 Of words that preach for tolerance and compassion
 Think before you act
 You are summoned by man and follow commands of words not true
 Look in your heart. You die for their god but god's in you
