From The Buddha To The Cross

Holy books and sacred words
A reflection of your nature
In this mirror of intention
What you seek you will find..

Feeding greed and fear
Be our friend or foe
Only one chosen race
Saves you from damnation.

A message of love
Spreading death
A message of peace
Bringing war.

The price of your freedom
Is the wage of my power
Because the promises of the afterlife
Are carved in stone.

The spires of the cathedrals
Designate the heavens
This life is not made
For the happiness of all men.

From mankind to desolation
From brotherhood to invasions
From pity to crusades
From prayers to stoning
From Feathers to guns
From tolerance to mistrust
From confession to gallows
From The Buddha To the cross.

A witch to burn
A blasphemer to crucify
A sinner to hang
Another cross to put up
I will save your soul
Whether you like it or not
Eternal rest is for you
At the tip of my sword.
