Lyrics The Counter-Crusade - Bulldozer, Kiko Loureiro, Billy Sheehan

The Counter-Crusade

Like inquisition, a few centuries later
the movement of brothers was formed to stop
the culture of freedom, a new western mentality:
nothing’s important, including religion
new ways to be happy, movies, TV just need a job: get money to spend
no more time to pray, no time for their god
the movement of brothers kills the enemies of faith
War of proud culture
the «Counter-Crusade», the target’s to break:
the symbol of the western empire
holy war of cruel fighters
the «Counter-Crusade», a bloody revenge
against who believes in the cross
Recited:
In the face of all my enemies
I am a reproach
an object of scorn to my neighbours
and of fear to my friends
those who see me in the street
run far away from me I am like a dead man, forgotten in men’s heart
like a thing thrown away
The culture of hate, the hunt for the heretics
Believers were orced to be soldiers of death
the brothers inspired new movements and sects
seeking the extreme behaviour of dread
and preachers incite: be ready to die
the best way to live, to kill and destroy
fight and perfection: they made that connection
and turned the tradition into religion of death
