When you righteous decide 
You color images of war and chaos 
Are we gods from the sky 
Should the sun set and rise when we command it 

Should freedom die 
When they refuse to bow to our idols 
Open your eyes 
Our demons hold our hearts 
They hide within us 

Somehow our reasons 
Are lost in our treason 
We hate them, we love us 
We call them the heathens 

But it's us 
We're the dogs in our cages 
Knowing nothing but the smell of blood
A cancer that's beaten the test of time 
Remember the crusades and all their lies 

We can't perceive 
A woman detonates for god and country 
Child on his knees 
His color keeps him hungry crying softly

We look for flaws in their cycles their patterns 
We hate them, they loathe us 
This war has no ending 

But it's us 
We're the dogs in our cages 
Knowing nothing but the smell of blood
A cancer thats beaten the test of time 
Remember the crusades and all their lies 

We won't let this take our souls away 
We won't let this take our souls away 
We won't let this take our souls away 
We won't let this take our souls 

I raise my hands, I reach for the sky 
Tear off my robe to take the dust from my eyes 
My face on the ground as I shut my eyes tight 
The sins of our fathers we carry tonight 

I raise my hands, I reach for the sky 
Tear off my robe to take the dust from my eyes 
My face on the ground as I shut my eyes tight 
The sins of our fathers we carry tonight 

I raise my hands, I reach for the sky 
Tear off my robe to take the dust from my eyes

We won't let this take our souls away 
We won't let this take our souls away 
We won't let this take our souls away 
We won't let this take our souls away 

Remember the crusades 
Remember the crusades 
Remember the crusades 
Remember the crusades and all their lies
