A schism in the house of Abrahim Two factions set in opposition Each bearing the gift of truth seen through their eyes Imposing their will dominion through philanthropy Killing in the name of their prophets Murder at the behest of their gods Parochial demagogues proclaim the only way No deviation from the rigid path prescribed Accept the tenets of delusional authority Compliance through coercion under pain of death Killing in the name of their prophets Murder at the behest of their gods Justified genocide to smite the non-believers Sanctioned by the flawed logic of their holy texts Of empty words that are for others to take heed The cross and the crescent are locked in perpetual war To gain domination over the entire world Killing in the name of their prophets Murder at the behest of their gods Killing in the name of their prophets Murder at the behest of their gods Tearstained eras of senseless anguish Bloodstained ages of reciprocal violence The battle rages on to the detriment of man But the war will be won when both are crushed and gone
