No Reward

Right from birth they indoctrinate you

And old religion forced on you

You're told "This is the way to God"

They persist, slowly thoughts will alter

Open up your eyes and see

We are all lambs to the slaughter

And now we face the crimson darkness

We're locked in battle here - release me

Chinese whispers etched in stone

Passed from old to young

Ever more corrupt

Each time they're passed along

Implications grasped like straws

From this sacred book

Consider what you've missed

Take another look

'Cos soon you'll face the crimson darkness

There's nothing, no reward

The curtain just falls

And so we face the crimson darkness

We're locked in battle here - release me

You'll die for Him

But there's no-one there

We'll die for Him

Now you're sucked in, the fight is yours

You are their pawn in holy wars

Beliefs you stand so surely by

We'll see who's right

When it's your turn to die

And so you face the crimson darkness

There's nothing, no reward, just empty silence

And we must meet the crimson darkness

Wrapped in chains of conflict

Release me
