Inquisition Lyrics


Maybe flagellation will wash away his sin.

Pain of crucifixion - the madness never ends.

If I say I’m guilty - they’ll take away the pain.

If I say I’m innocent - they’ll find anther way.

Inquisition!   Fear of the unknown.

                  Drive Satan from his throne.

                  Slaughter of the sane.

                  Purify through pain.

Thousands to slaughter - in the name of god.

Guaranteed salvation written in innocent blood.

Religion is the answer - burn away the sin.

Reason is the question - god knows what’s within.

Inquisition! ...

The sound of my persuasion cut in through my pain.

Offering salvation if you agree to what they say.

Stretch your soul to breaking - then they start again.

‘Til you sign their paper they won’t go away.

Inquisition! ...

Killing for your god, murder I say.

An excuse to rid yourself of any in your way.

Your priest a witch-hunter, the justice of god.

A perversion of religion, their belief only of fear,

their faith only in death.

Terrify the masses - w/ your holy talk.

Pacify the people - for they are your flock.

Hide behind the word of god - atrocity in his name.

If they go against your word  - let them feel the flame.

Inquisition! ...

Science set back hundreds of years.

Oppressing the through ignorance & fears.

They called them dark ages cos. that’s what they saw.

Yet they made them darker w/ their unholy war.

Inquisition! ...
