They're feeding you lies With calculating smiles With slaves made of the human mind As long as you kneel to their authority Religion, it's what makes you blind They speak of love and tolerance They prey on people's ignorance To make you all Slaves of fear

Cities full of hatred Fear and lies Withered hearts And cruel, tormented eyes Scheming demons Dressed in kingly guise Beating down the multitude And scoffing at the wise When they turn the pages of history

Between the Hammer and the Anvil Storm warning But there's no fear Lies forming The sacrament lays bare Will testify They'll suffer When sacrificed on high

That a hero lies in you And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth There's a hero
