In the name of God

And they carried the cross -
In the name of the pope, in the name of God
And they went to the east -
In the name of their Lords, in the name of God
Crusaders spread the holy words with fire and sword
In the name of God, in the name of God

And they lighted the stakes -
In the name of the pope, in the name of God
They tortured and killed -
In the name of the pope, in the name of God
The holy inquisition covered the land with persecution and death
In the name of God, in the name of God

     In one hand their holy writings, in the other hand the sword
     Reading words of love and praying hate
     The one hand upraised to bless you, the other hand at your throat
     They promise you redemption for the prize of liberty
     And they take your soul - in the name of God, in the name of God.

And they set sail -
In the name of the King, in the name of God
They discovered new worlds -
In the name the Queen, in the name of God
And they took the gold and brought bondage and death
In the name of God, in the name of God

And they went to the natives -
in the name of God, in the name of God
Carried the cross to the infidels -
In the name of God, in the name of God
Missionaries saving souls and bringing bondage and death
In the name of God, in the name of God

     In one hand their holy writings…..

And they blessed the bomb -
In the name of God, in the name of God
And they dropped the bomb -
In the name of God, in the name of God
Metal birds carried the death into the world
In the name of God, in the name of God

And they’re sending missiles -
In the name of Yahweh, in the name of God
And they sending car bombs -
In the name of Allah, in the name of God

In the name of God, in the name of God
