The Door

I - Introduction (instrumental)

II - In the name of God

Giving up the time we've got to live the life completely

Giving over to the lust that rageous in the mind

The Captain fills his place with gold while all the ship is sinking

Calls himself the Bishop-Prince and blood's his favorite wine

Gardens grow as people know and sense the smell of slaughter

Every soul in Saxon senses something's gone awry

The woman's in the wilderness - the beast has nearly got her

Men sorround the Bishop-Prince and sing their bloody cry

In the name of God you must die

All that's not our truth is a lie

In the name of God you must die

In the name of God you must die

If you want some teeth just ask why

In the name of God you must die

The pearl is trodden underfoot into the muck and mire

We'll take the Roman Gods except the names will all be changed

The woman's fed by ravens and her feet are in the fire

Cold and bare she's holding there 1260 days

In the name of God you must die

All that's not our truth is a lie

In the name of God you must die

In the name of God you must die

We won't let a sleeping dog lie

In the name of God you must die

And the Captain calls

If they won't pay they're soon be scratching the dungeon walls

From the highest height to the tenement halls - it's true

Look out we're coming for you

In the name of God you must die

In the name of God you must die

III - All I ask for

Free me - know me

Only you can make the morning mine

Lowly - humbly

As the sunlight lights the way

This is all I asked for

This is all I wanted to do

Is to live with you forever

And feel the beauty of your truth

This is all I asked for

To live a life that's pleasing to you

And be there ever after

You know my heart: you know it's true

Bravely, strongly - You have left the veil of death behind

Something drawing me out into your way

This is all I asked for

This is all I wanted to do

Is to live with you forever

And feel the beauty of your truth

This is all I asked for

To live a life that's pleasing to you

And to be there ever after

You know my heart: you know it's truth

All I want is you

Oh God I seek the glory that's from you and from you only

Oh God I seek the glory that's from you

I seek your light through the veil of life

Please come and make me holy

Oh God I seek the glory that's from you

(This is all I ask for)

Oh God I seek the glory that's from you

(To live a life that's pleasing to you)

Oh God I seek the glory that's from you

Only you

IV - Mercy for sale

In the name of God you must pay your penance

If you don't well that's a crime

If you want to buy your way to Heaven

We'll indulge you every time

Would you like to come?

We'll eat in secret

My water's stolen but it's fine

If you want know much more about me

Take a look in Proverbs 9

Mercy, mercy we're selling mercy

We are Christ and we'll bless you well

People crying Lord have mercy

But they've gone in through the gates of hell

It's true, look out we're comin' for you!

If you think the whore is only history

Are there those who teach her lies?

Wherever they believe what came out from her

That same spirit is still alive

Mercy, mercy we're selling mercy

We are Christ and we'll bless you well

People crying Lord have mercy

But they've gone in through the gates of hell

It's true, look out we're coming for you!

V - Keep silent

How can I keep silent when I know the truth?

How can I stand idly by with the previleged few?

There's criminals in power; the keepers of the lie

They say you've got salvation when they know you're gonna die

I don't wanna be the one to bring the curtain down

I'd much rather stay at home and keep what I have found

But Jesus didn't call me to do what I would do

So how can I keep silent when I know the truth?

What is it that binds me? What can keep me down?

And in my very heart of hearts who shall wear the crown?

But as I read and as I bleed, oh, my heart is fixed

And if I follow blind men, well, we'll all fall in the ditch

I don't wanna be the one to bring the curtain down

I'd much rather stay at home and keep what I have found

But Jesus didn't call me to do what I would do

So how can I keep silent when I know the truth?

Oh Lord I can't justify what the ones above me do

Oh Lord I can testify nothing more or less will do

And I'll be your witness in the wild

The dragons stands in front of me

The virgins been defiled, Oh God...

How can I keep silent when I know the truth?

I ask myself one question: What will Jesus do?

I don't wanna be the one to bring the curtain down

I'd much rather stay at home and keep what I have found

But Jesus didn't call me to do what I would do

So how can I keep silent when I know the truth?

VI - Upon the door

Sometimes comes a moment when there is no escape

A man by candlelight reads: "The just shall live by faith"

And a rushing ray of light comes and hits him at the core

I will write my words upon the door

History is hinged on him playing of the role

The dawn was coming after the dark night of the soul

The simple act has changed our world forever more

I will write my words upon the door

I will write my words upon the door

Martin saw the jailer with the woman in her bed

With simple words of life he struck the seventh head

The witness stands before the dragon and the whore

I will write my words upon the door

I will write my words upon the door
