They speak of love and tolerance

They thrive on people's ignorance

To make you all slaves of fear



They feed on your anxiety

To build their dead society

They've kept you down for a thousand years



They nurture prejudice and hate

Condemn the wars that they create

In the name of whatever god



They gladly sacrifice your lives

Increasing power is their prize

Without regrets they'll spill your blood



They're feeding you lies

With calculating smiles

Enslavement of the human mind

As long as you kneel to their authority

Religion is what makes you blind



They're treating you as mindless fools

And use you as obedient tools

It's time to set your spirit free



This world we cannot tolerate

It's time to seal all preachers' fate

And let them hang from Oden's tree



They're feeding you lies

With calculating smiles

Enslavement of the human mind

As long as you kneel to their authority

Religion is what makes you blind



Your minds are restrained

Obedience is the chain

They've locked you up and thrown away the key

Your souls are for sale,

And you're the ones who pay

But still, you'll never be set free
