[Verse 1]
Watching them Bmcome and go
The Templars and the ASaracens
They're travelling the Gholy land
Opening Atelegrams
Torture comes and Bmtorture goes
Knights who'd give you Aanything
They bear the cross of GCoeur de Leon
Salvation for the Amirror blind oF#oh!
[Bridge]
F#But if you pGmray
All your sFins are hooked uCpon the sCmky
AmPray and the hEmeathen lie wilCml disappear
[Break]

[Chorus]
GPrayers they hide the sA11addest view
(Believing the stBb6rangest things, loving the A11alien)
And your pGrayers, they break the A11sky in two
(Believing the stBb6rangest things, loving the A11alien)
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Thinking of a dBmifferent time
Palestine a mAodern problem
Bounty and your wGealth in land
Terror in a Abest laid plan
Watching them Bmcome and go
Tomorrows and the yAesterdays
Christians and the uGnbelievers
Hanging by the cAross and nail F#ohh
[Bridge]
F#But if you pGmray
All your sFins are hooked uCpon the sCmky
AmPray and the hEmeathen lie wilCml disappear
