Lyrics

there is no God
just a ringing in my head and death in my hand
a soldier of Rome
told to keep the peace - through a vein to the bone

killing Christ in cold cement
in secret groups, in canvas tents
burning pages, candle smoke
your blood on walls for the Holy Ghost

read me these words that you think are so profound
you guard them with your life
I won't be swayed by a lot of pretty words
but I'm beginning to see your faith

greeting God in the underground
in sewer pipes you tunnel down
reciting prayers and eating bread
to save your soul when the flesh is dead

strong and still - with a gun I strike you
full force of the Ghost ignite you
don't give up and don't lie down
I need this proof of the God you've found

I want the Peace
I see in you when I'm beating you
I want the Love
you offer me nailed to the Tree
