Song lyrics

[Verse 1:]
How can this be?
Why is he the chosen one?
Saint gone astray
With a scepter and a gun
Learn to believe in the mighty and the strong
Come bleed the beast
Follow me it won't be long

[Chorus:]
Listen when the prophet speaks to you
Killing in the name of God
Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God

[Verse 2:]
Straight is the path leading to your salvation
Slaying the weak ethnic elimination
Any day we'll all be swept away
You'll be saved as long as you obey
Lies, tools of the devil inside
Written in holy disguise
Meant to deceive and divide us all

[Chorus:]
Listen when the prophet speaks to you
Killing in the name of God
Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God

[Bridge 1:]
Blurring the lines between virtue and sin
They can't tell where God ends
And mankind begins
They know no other life but this
From the cradle they are claimed

[Chorus:]
Listen when the prophet speaks to you
Killing in the name of God
Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God

[Bridge 2:]
Hundreds of believers lured into a doomsday cult
All would perish in the name of God
Self-proclaimed messiah led his servants to their death
Eighty murdered in the name of God

[Bridge 3:]
Forty sons and daughters
Un-consenting plural wives
Perversions in the name of God.
Underground religion
Turning toward the mainstream light
Blind devotion in the name of God
Justifying violence
Citing from the holy book
Teaching hatred in the name of God

[Chorus:]
Listen when the prophet speaks to you
Killing in the name of God
Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God
In the name of God

[Outro:]
Religious beliefs, fanatic obsession
Does following faith lead us to violence?
Unyielding crusade, divine revelation
Does following faith lead us to violence?

(Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah...)
