Collision Course: Paradox II
When did it all go wrong? How could we let it go on for so long? Who did that first mistake? Who took the first step and who’s been awake but silent? Churches were built by men, driven by love that we all understand Since millions of lives have been lost... kneel for the moon or kneel for the cross Kneel for the cross...

In the beginning there was one and only God, you see – all said and done The only one you chose to rule the world But then... as time was passing by you kept – without even knowing why Re-entering new faces to the fold, oh no So was it progress or regress? A bunch of them created such a mess Inventing laws all written gold on gold They tell you “from now on one icon leaves no room for others” So now we’re back – a single face in every corner, showing holy grace Demanding bigger palace – worth the king We’re working hard to build it right, we’re slaving every day and every night Just dying to complete this bloody thing Higher, higher... we can’t stop, the tower’s getting higher, higher, oh! Build a perfect house of light on our flesh and bones To keep a sacred image under lock and key, but Every single dream we had kept ending in the mud When we replaced religion with the rock... The very first mistake – a simple rock! Inferior gods must be gone... tomorrow there’ll be only one Higher, higher... we can’t stop, the tower’s getting higher, higher, oh... Build a perfect house of light on our flesh and bones To keep a sacred image under lock and key, but Every single dream we had kept ending in the mud When we replaced religion with the rock... The very first mistake – a simple rock! A simple rock!

Ships arriving to a very distant shore Breeze is playing with flags it’s never seen before Moving closer – a bunch of soldiers and a priest Getting ready (for a sacrilegious bloody feast) Half-moon (half-moon), a cross (a cross) Who cares which one of them it was?

(That’s the way – divide and reign) Churches’re burning... was it colour or their shape? Does it matter? (It does to ones who didn’t manage to escape) Listen closely – winners are gone, they had their ball From the ashes (I hear retaliations call) They won... (or did we?) ????

It’s all a blur but I recall: I’m looking up and hear your call (“The perfect war – no war at all”) it’s hard to swallow A night will cover the battlefield to hide them all – the ones they killed And all I see and all I feel (is rage and sorrow!)

Oh... oh yeah All by myself under the scorching sun Looking around, hoping the hate is gone, gone, gone As for the magic trick to be revealed: You see, it’s (high noon) at the battlefield (and not a soul around) Another (high noon) at the battlefield Touching the ground, feeling the pain below (below...) How did it end there? Wish you’ll never know (I know) Guarded by this soil as if it was a shield: You see, it’s high, high noon at the battlefield (I left my fear behind) A peaceful high, high noon... Oh yeah But not so long ago the wind was strong and freezing cold While blood was running down that hill A war like this – you mark my words – cannot be put on hold: We’ll keep on welding our steel Do you believe that horrors from our distant past Will ever make us change our mind? (No way! No way!) Forget the fallen ones – we’re in to have a blast So all in all we’re doing fine, fine, fine... High noon at the battlefield (oh, ah...) Hmm... [News:] Are you, sir, a spokesman for the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan? [Townley:] Let’s get this straight. We do not accept Jews because they reject Christ. And their control of the international banking cartels are at the root of what we call communism today. We do not accept Papists because they bow to a Roman dictator. We do not accept Turks, Mongols, Tartars, Orientals nor Negroes... because we’re here to protect Anglo-Saxon democracy. [From the movie “Mississippi Burning”] Oh, it’s ???? Oh, yeah... Come on...

Yeah, yeah, yeah... Blood in, blood out Over and over Oh... yeah (Oh...) I thought that the madness was over as echo of the last (bloody war) Was fading away, but discovered a new breed of fools on the way To steal their fair share of headlines... in “Whatever Times” Over and over For some unexplainable reason there’s always a few (of a kind) Who’d put their beliefs in a prison of highly deranged, vicious minds (Praying away for a bigger and stronger empire) to surface the Earth Coming back (from the ashes to set every nation on fire) Blood’s on your face and all over the place as you... You’re hiding, you’re lying – disgrace is worse than dying Keep falling much lower ‘cause it’s so far from over The war cry’s returning, remaining bridges burning You’ll hear it – we mean it – so clear and loud: “Blood in blood out!” Now the war’s moving into your home... Heat’s getting closer! Who could have believed or expected, who knew all along (that today) Dark Ages will be resurrected – now look at yourself, go on! Wait for Messiah to save you and show what to do (Follow) millions of desperate rebels without a clue what are they fighting for, asking Almighty for You’re hiding, you’re lying – disgrace is worse than dying Keep falling much lower ‘cause it’s so far from over The war cry’s returning, remaining bridges burning You’ll hear it – we mean it – so clear and loud: “Blood in blood out!” See it coming... blood in blood out...
