Kings are killing in the name of the law The crown empowers all this creatures Men of the street have to lick 'em the paw They're oppressed by false preachers Those who commit breach of faith Are condemned to death by fire Men are tormented in the name of the law Livin' in misery's life in the raw They are tortured in the name of the law They are burned on funeral pyres They are oppressed in the name of the law They are dying in the name of the law Snares of the devil are blinding the world They're chasing after shadows You only survive as a curl In this world reigned by heresy and slap-stick shows They lock your soul in dungeons Where it's finally starving to death Kings are obsessed by hunger for more They're speaking with the tongues of liars Men are tormented in the name of the law Livin' in misery's life in the raw They are tortured in the name of the law They are burned on funeral pyres They are oppressed in the name of the law They are dying in the name of the law Epidemic disease will cover the land While the lords adore their reflections Of splendour and luxury In the headway streets the rats gaining ground While the knell is ringing continuously Men are tormented in the name of the law Livin' in misery's life in the raw They are tortured in the name of the law They are burned on funeral pyres They are oppressed in the name of the law They are dying in the name of the law
