They never had a choice
To this life they’re bound
They hear their orders echo
In every church, in every town
Their mission was made clear
They protect the enlightened word
A thousand men armed with fear
Birds of prey in a sheepish herd
The gray haired shepherd sleeps
Atop a barren mound
Well his well armed sheep
Take their teeth to foreign ground
They go where grass is green
They devoured what they found
No one can hear the screams
God’s word is the only sound
Who gave them the right?
Who told them they’re right?
They are all God’s children
They behave as children might
Who gave them the right?
Who told them they’re right?
They are all God’s children
They behave as children might
They run from place to place
Make no report of what they found
No one tells them where to go
Aimlessly that march around
They put themselves on foreign soil
Make battlefields on sacred ground
Crusade for a lost kingdom
Holy chants echo all around
Who gave them the right?
Who told them they’re right?
They are all God’s children
They behave as children might
Who gave them the right?
Who told them they’re right?
They are all God’s children
They behave as children might
They behave as children
They fight their wars
To save their souls
They’re knocking on Heaven’s door
But no one’s home
They fight their wars
To save their souls
They’re knocking on Heaven’s door
But no one’s home
