There was a sign around for many years 

It's universal power was revered 

Then they twisted it around 

And all the goodness was bound 

Now it's a symbol of suffering, death and fear 



With their crosses they came into the land 

Claiming divine authority over man 

They burned all the books 

And their culture they took 

Now the blood of the children's on their hands 



It's sad the way the future looks today 

The old and the young held in it's sway 

A fanatical whim some call it a sin 

It will come back upon them anyway 



It's lies they're tellin' 

Yes indeed 

It's death they're sellin' 

To feed their greed 

To believe in something the just will win 

The light of reason comes burnin' in 



It's lies they're tellin' 

Yes indeed 

It's death you're smellin' 

To feed their greed 

To believe in something the just will win 

With light of reason comes burnin' in
