There was a sign around for many yearsnIt's universal power was reverednThen they twisted it aroundnAnd all the goodness was boundnNow it's a symbol of suffering, death and fearnnWith their crosses they came into the landnClaiming divine authority over mannThey burned all the booksnAnd their culture they tooknNow the blood of the children's on their handsnnIt's sad the way the future looks todaynThe old and the young held in it's swaynA fanatical whim some call it a sinnIt will come back upon them anywaynnIt's lies they're tellin'nYes indeednIt's death they're sellin'nTo feed their greednTo believe in something the just will winnThe light of reason comes burnin' innnIt's lies they're tellin'nYes indeednIt's death you're smellin'nTo feed their greednTo believe in something the just will winnWith light of reason comes burnin' in
