Protectors of Terror

They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror

They're in the business of illusion
An empire built on pain
The Almighty's inquisition
They're a fire burning out of control

A thousand years of praying
Of faith, morality
A thousand years of slaying
Of terror in the name of the cross

Will you pray, will you cry?
(Thou shalt not bear the false witness)
When brothers in faith turn to brothers in arms
(Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images)
How many more have to die?

They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror

You pay for your salvation
You have to bend your knees in pain
No surrender to temptation
And you're a slave to the eye of the Lord

Will you pray, will you cry?
(Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain)
When brothers in faith turn to brothers in arms
(Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's oxen)
How many more have to die?

They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror
(They are protectors)
They are protectors of terror

Fear not those who dare to tread
Upon the ashes of the chosen ones
They will drink the spillage of the blood
Behind closed doors the darkest one
Prepares his altar of death

They are protectors
(Will you pray, will you cry?)
Of terror
(When brothers in faith turn to brothers in arms)
They are protectors
(How many more have to die?)
Laws carved in stone are rewritten in blood

They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror
(They are protectors)
They are protectors of terror

They are protectors of terror
