In The Name Of God — Dream Theater

How can this be? Why is he the chosen one?

Saint gone astray With a scepter and a gun

Learn to believe In the might and the strong

Come bleed the beast Follow me it won't be long

Listen when the prophet Speaks to you Killing in the name of God

Passion Twisting faith into violence In the name of God

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

Listen when the prophet Speaks to you Killing in the name of God

Passion Twisting faith into violence In the name of God

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

Listen when the prophet Speaks to you Killing in the name of God

Passion Twisting faith into violence In the name of God 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

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

Listen when the prophet Speaks to you Killing in the name of God

Passion Twisting faith into violence In the name of God

Religious beliefs Fanatic obsession Does following faith Lead us to violence?

Unyielding crusade Divine revelation Does following faith Lead us to violence?
