Lyrics:

Since the Garden of Eden bore it's bitter fruit
Millions have died in the Lord's pursuit
Religious zeal is the worst offender
Requiring nothing less than complete surrender
Baptized in a ball and chain
Suffer little children once again
Those hypocrite preachers should take a lot of the blame
Life in the name of the Lord

In the sixteenth century they started south
To destroy the healing temples and build the Lords own house
They came across South America and the women and the children too
Soon felt the cold steel, Cortez and his and his crew
Yes, even the women and the children could not escape the Spanish sword
That was killing, killing in the name of the Lord

Finally heathen saved his soul
His Christian fathers would soon take control
There was blood on the altars and there was death at noon
When they come marching in to the sound of God's own tune
Burn one more temple, a job well done
Now see the children praying
Praying at the point of a gun
Praying to the name of the Lord

Catholic father shot right down
Next day a protestant man found dead on a piece of waste ground
All these politicians running 'round
Can't stop this killing in the name of the Lord
All through history it's the same old story
People cut down just for God's own glory
They tell me, 'Believe in the Bible, it's the greatest story you'll ever see'
Well, I say it only causes misery, so much misery
Why should I fight a man 'cause he don't believe the same as me
I say no more killing, killing in the name of Good Lord

Men of Islam now rising up to fight
Ten thousand bodies just to prove their way's right
It looks like soon we're gonna see the familiar sight
Of people dying in the name of the Lord
More people dying in the name of the Lord
In the name of the Lord
