Echoes Of Evil

(album: Reign Of Fear - 1986)

I tell you Jesus Christ
Was just an ordinary man,
But he was wise, much wiser
Than the rest.

The few to see wrote tales
About him but time perverted it all.
The banner's changed, the world
Ain't changed at all.

Forced to fight
For law and order,
In the name of God
To slaughter.

Living in this world
Could be a life in Hell.
They're around everywhere,
Can't you tell?

Echoes of evil...

You know they don't know what
It is when they talk about the law.
The rights are wrong when
Only riches rule.

You hear them say we're civilized
But still the blacks are slaves.
When money talks they won't
Hear all the cries.

Forced to fight
For law and order,
In the name of God
To slaughter.

Dying at the front
Is tradition, you know.
Just like fathers and
Grandfathers did.

Echoes of evil...

We're men, we're bound to fail
But we can learn it.
The ones who never face it
Will stay blind.

We gained too much by science
But we can't use it.
Prepare your mind to stop
Before it's too late.

The preacher's
Done the rites of Christ
For a thousand years or more,
Believes in personified Gods.

Does he fear waking up
To see it's not so easy,
Opposing good and bad as he did?

Forced to fight
For law and order,
In the name of God
To slaughter.

What is religion?
Shit in your brain!
A blade of straw
In oceans of life.

Don't follow leaders
No matter what side,
Though it's harder to
Live your ideals.

There are echoes of evil!
