Rage - Echoes Of Evil Lyrics
[Music by WagnerSchroeder, lyrics by Wagner]I tell you Jesus Christ was just an ordinary manBut he was wise, much wiser than the restThe few to see wrote tales 'bout him but time pervertedit allThe banner's changed, the world ain't changed at allForced to fight for law and orderIn the name of God to slaughterLiving in this world could be a life in hellThey're around everywhere, can't you tell?Echoes of evilYou know, they don't know what it is when they talk'bout the lawThe rights are wrong when only riches ruleYou hear them say we're civilized but still blacks areslavesWhen money talks they won't hear all the criesForced to fight with law and orderIn the name of God to slaughterDying at the front is tradition, you knowJust like fathers and grandfathers didEchoes of evilWe're men - we're bound to fail but we can learn itThe ones who never face it will stay blindWe gained too much by science but we can't use itPrepare your mind to stop before it's to lateThe preacher's done the rites of Christ for a thousandyears or moreBelieves in personified godsDoes he fear waking up to see it's not so easyOpposing good 'n' bad as he did?Forced to fight with law and orderIn the name of God to slaughterWhat is religion - shit in your brainA blade of straw in oceans of lifeDon't follow leaders, no matter what sideThough it's harder to live your idealsThere are echoes of evil
