They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror

They're in the business of illusion

An empire built on pain
The Almighty's inquisition
They're a fire burning out of control

A thousand years of praying
Of faith, morality
A thousand years of slaying
Of terror in the name of the cross

Will you pray - will you cry
   Thou shalt not bear the false witness
When brothers in faith
Turn to brothers in arms
   Thou shalt not make unto thee
   any graven images
How many more have to die

They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror

You pay for your salvation
You have to bend your knees in pain
No surrender to temptation
You're a slave to the eye of the Lord

Will you pray - will you cry
   Thou shalt not take the name
   of the Lord thy God in vain
When brothers in faith
Turn to brothers in arms
   Thou shalt not covet
   thy neighbour's oxen
How many more have to die

They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror - they are protectors
They are protectors of terror

Fear not those who dare to tread
   upon the ashes of the chosen ones
They will drink the spillage of the blood
Behind closed doors the darkest one
   prepares his altar of death

They are protectors - will you pray - will you cry
Of terror - when brothers in faith turn to brothers in arms
They are protectors - how many more have to die

Laws carved in stone are rewritten in blood

They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror - they are protectors
They are protectors of terror

They are protectors of terror
