In The Name Of God Lyrics - Train Of Thought - 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 mighty 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 

Unconsenting 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 

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?
