[Music by Wagner/Schroeder, lyrics by Wagner]



I tell you Jesus Christ was just an ordinary man

But he was wise, much wiser than the rest



The few to see wrote tales 'bout him but time perverted

it all

The banner's changed, the world ain't changed at all

Forced to fight for law and order

In the name of God to slaughter



Living in this world could be a life in hell

They're around everywhere, can't you tell?



Echoes of evil



You know, they don't know what it is when they talk

'bout the law

The rights are wrong when only riches rule

You hear them say we're civilized but still blacks are

slaves

When money talks they won't hear all the cries



Forced to fight with law and order

In the name of God to slaughter



Dying at the front is tradition, you know

Just like fathers and grandfathers did



Echoes of evil



We're men - we're bound to fail but we can learn it

The ones who never face it will stay blind

We gained too much by science but we can't use it

Prepare your mind to stop before it's to late



The preacher's done the rites of Christ for a thousand

years or more

Believes in personified gods

Does he fear waking up to see it's not so easy

Opposing good 'n' bad as he did?



Forced to fight with law and order

In the name of God to slaughter



What is religion - shit in your brain

A blade of straw in oceans of life

Don't follow leaders, no matter what side

Though it's harder to live your ideals



There are echoes of evil
