00:01They raised the flags
00:03They lit the flame
00:05They called it holy
00:08But death came the same
00:18Oh
00:22Oh
00:26Oh
00:28Oh
00:28Oh
00:28Oh
00:30Oh
00:30Oh
00:30Oh
00:31Oh
00:32Oh
00:32Oh
00:32Oh
00:34Oh
00:34Oh
00:36Oh
00:36Oh
00:37Oh
00:40A child is born beneath the broken sky
00:44Taught who to hate before he knows why
00:47Names carved deep into ancient stone
00:51Die for the truth and you'll never die alone
00:55A mother weeps while the church bells ring
00:58Another son lost for a promised king
01:02The book is held like a loaded gun
01:05And mercy burns in the morning sun
01:09They say heaven waits beyond the blade
01:13They bless the graves that their hatred lay
01:16Faith becomes fire when the blind obey
01:20And God stays silent while the children pay
01:24This is the poison of religion
01:28Blood on the altar, smoke in the sky
01:31This is the sickness of division
01:35Teaching the faithful how to die
01:39Marching to war with a prayer in their mouth
01:42Burning the world as the truth bleeds out
01:46This is the poison, the poison of religion
01:49When love turns to war and the martyrs cry
01:59They disappear in sacred robe
02:04Sell paradise for a dying hope
02:07Tell the broken they are chosen ones
02:11Then send them marching under iron suns
02:15A martyr's name on a city wall
02:18Another child answers the call
02:22Another child answers the call
02:22No one remembers the face beneath
02:25Just the glory painted over grief
02:29They promise peace with a violent hand
02:33They drown their borders in blood and sand
02:36Every bear twisted into a knife
02:40Every graveyard hungry for life
02:44This is the poison of religion
02:47Blood on the altar, smoke in the sky
02:51This is the sickness of division
02:55Teaching the faithful how to die
02:59Kneeling before what they don't understand
03:02Killing the stranger by command
03:06This is the poison, the poison of religion
03:09When love turns to war and the martyrs cry
03:16Who profits from the bodies
03:18Who crowns the dead as saints
03:20Who whispers from the pulpit
03:22While painting haters' faith
03:23Who tells the poor to suffer
03:25Who tells the young to kill
03:27Who turns the lost to weapons
03:29And calls it heaven's will
03:31No god should need a battlefield
03:33No truth should need a grace
03:34No cow should die for ancient words
03:36The powerful men enslave
03:41Murder
03:42Soldier
03:43Victim
03:44Believer
03:45Raised on fire, fed on lies
03:47Sent to kill, sent to die
03:49Murder
03:50Soldier
03:51Victim
03:52Believer
03:53Buried young beneath the cries
03:56This is the poison of religion
04:00Blood on the altar, smoke in the sky
04:03War
04:04This is the sickness of division
04:07Teaching the faithful how to die
04:11Wars begin where compassion ends
04:14Enemies made from neighbors and friends
04:18This is the poison, the poison of religion
04:21When love turns to war and the martyrs cry
04:30Lay down the scripture
04:32Lay down the blade
04:33Count every life that hatred betrayed
04:37If heaven is real
04:38Let mercy begin
04:40Not in the war
04:43But under the skin
04:48Mm-mm-mm-mm
