Oh the enemy comes under the sign of salvation
But the people don't recognize him - nor his evil intention
And they say - why should we fear when they say we love you
Well I say - Oh you better beware when the bears come to hug you
You know they don't really love you
Oh the inquisitor arrives with his new world religion
He's got the pope and the terrorist - together on his mission
Chorus
Oh the suicide ball - going to be a big celebration
The executioner smiles - when he receives his invitation
