In the Name of the Lord

So now you’re talking to the night
You read the words by candlelight
You cling to them with all your might
In the hollow of your soul

You dread the crashing of the rain
The waters rising on the plain
The lightning flash, the hurricane
Out of your control

And it’s all in the name of the lord

We’re prisoners in a fairytale
A ship of fools all set to sail
We watch the Empire's epic fail
On shiny hand-held screens

The rapture of the buy and sell
The faithful at the wishing well
They rage against the infidel
Lurking in their dreams

And it’s all in thе name of the lord

Pull the oil up through thе sands
Desecrate the holy lands
The blood will never touch our hands
In lands so far away

The lies we tell to fill the hole
Like coins dropped in a beggar's bowl
They can’t redeem us when we go
Into the dimming day

And it’s all in the name of the lord
