A schism in the house of Abrahim

Two factions set in opposition

Each bearing the gift of truth seen through their eyes

Imposing their will dominion through philanthropy

Killing int he name of their prophets

Murder at the behest of their gods

Parochial demagogues proclaim the only way

No deviation from the rigid path prescribed

Accept the tenets of delusional authority

Compliance through coercion under pain of death

Killing in the name of their prophets

Murder at the behest of their gods

Justified genocide to smite the non-believers

Sanctioned by the flawed logic of their holy texts

Of empty words that are for others to take heed

The cross and the crescent are locked in perpetual war

To gain domination over the entire world

Killing in the name of their prophets

Murder at the behest of their gods

Tearstained eras of senseless anguish

Bloodstained ages of reciprocal violence

The battle rages on to the detriment of man

But the war will be won when both are crushed and gone
