Echoes of Evil

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
About 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 about the law
The rights are wrong when
Only riches rule

You hear them say we're civilized
But still the blacks are slaves
When money talks they won't
Hear all the cries

Forced to fight
For 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 too 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 and bad as he did?

Forced to fight
For 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!
