------------

they got death on their fingers
they live for the death of satan
only devil that they see
it's rushdie with pen and paper

revenge created a panel
and it don't play no favorites
bring the enemy to it's knees
claim victory sooner or later

it looks too familiar
it looks so familiar...
you convert the universe next time
but this time the nation

sharp lines got me nervous
sharp lines, cocentric circles
fanatical back to basics
tyrannical god at work

now a fear is coming on strong
i swear that it'll be the last one
the blue phenomena
hey you, the fates are calling

it looks too familiar
it looks so familiar...
you convert the universe next time
but this time the nation

this eyes used to be clear
but they've been blurred by satan
is that really what you want?
or is it my imagination?

to you death means nothing
i got nothing against your bible
just don't mess with my wife and children
or you'll be the next one to see muhammed

it looks too familiar
it looks so familiar...
you convert the universe next time
but this time the nation
