4. Slaves of Fear (4:25)
They speak of love and tolerance
They thrive on people's ignorance
To make you all Slaves of fear
They feed on your anxiety
To build their dead society
They've kept you down for a thousand years
They nurture prejudice and hate
Condemn the wars that they create
In the name of whatever god
They gladly sacrifice your lives
Increasing power is their prize
Without regrets they'll spill your blood
They're feeding you lies
With calculating smiles
Enslavement of the human mind
As long as you kneel to their authority
Religion is what makes you blind
They're treating you as mindless fools
And use you as obedient tools
It's time to set your spirit free
This world we cannot tolerate
It's time to seal all preachers' fate
And let them swing from Oden's tree
They're feeding you lies
With calculating smiles
Enslavement of the human mind
As long as you kneel to their authority
Religion is what makes you blind
Your minds are restrained
Obedience is the chain
They've locked you up and thrown away the key
Your souls are for sale,
And you're the ones who pay
But still, you'll never be set free
They thrive on people's ignorance
To make you all Slaves of fear
They feed on your anxiety
To build their dead society
They've kept you down for a thousand years
They nurture prejudice and hate
Condemn the wars that they create
In the name of whatever god
They gladly sacrifice your lives
Increasing power is their prize
Without regrets they'll spill your blood
They're feeding you lies
With calculating smiles
Enslavement of the human mind
As long as you kneel to their authority
Religion is what makes you blind
They're treating you as mindless fools
And use you as obedient tools
It's time to set your spirit free
This world we cannot tolerate
It's time to seal all preachers' fate
And let them swing from Oden's tree
They're feeding you lies
With calculating smiles
Enslavement of the human mind
As long as you kneel to their authority
Religion is what makes you blind
Your minds are restrained
Obedience is the chain
They've locked you up and thrown away the key
Your souls are for sale,
And you're the ones who pay
But still, you'll never be set free
