Dream Theater - Train of Thought

Dream Theater - Train of Thought

Depois dos atentatos às torres gêmeas, em NYC, O DT lançou 2 discos com músicas que fazem referências ao fanatismo religioso, a guerras e afins: In The Name of God (Train of Thought) e Sacrificed Sons (Octavarium). As 2 são músicas excelentes e com letras fortíssimas sobre os temas, mas na minha modesta opinião a melhor delas é a In The Name of God – música que transcrevo abaixo e convido-os a ouvir!

A música tem um feeling totalmente de acordo com a temática da letra: pegada forte, timbres pesados, melodia meio oriental e afins. Vale “perder” os 14:15!

Dream Theater - In The Name of God

Letra: John Petrucci
How can this be?
Why is he the chosen one?

Saint gone astray
With a scepter and a gun

Learn to believe
In the mighty and the strong

Come bleed the beast
Follow me it won’t be long

Listen when the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing in the name of God

Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God

Straight is the path
Leading to your salvation
Slaying the weak
Ethnic elimination

Any day we’ll all be
Swept away
You’ll be saved
As long as you obey

Lies
Tools of the devil inside
Written in Holy disguise
Meant to deceive and divide
Us all

Listen when the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing in the name of God

Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God

Blurring the lines
Between virtue and sin
They can’t tell
Where God ends
And mankind begins

They know no other
Life but this
From the cradle
They are claimed

Listen when the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing in the name of God

Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God
Hundreds of believers
Lured into a doomsday cult

All would perish
In the name of God

Self-proclaimed messiah
Led his servants
To their death
Eighty murdered
In the name of God

Forty sons and daughters
Un-consenting plural wives
Perversions
In the name of God

Underground religion
Turning toward
The mainstream light
Blind devotion
In the name of God

Justifying violence
Citing from the Holy Book
Teaching hatred
In the name of God

Listen when the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing in the name of God

Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God

Religious beliefs
Fanatic obsession
Does following faith
Lead us to violence?
Unyielding crusade
Divine revelation
Does following faith
Lead us to violence?
