Hello Pizarro, well I guess that you have learned:
“Live by the sword and you'll be slain."
But all those Incas that you tortured, raped and burned
Will never trust white men or foreign gods again.

And those who really sought the God of love
That between swords and blood they heard you speaking of,
To them the angel at the tombstone said,
“Why do you search for the living among the dead?"

Well, Galileo, please don't take it quite so bad
When all the world seems so insane.
You've seen the works of God, and now the pope is mad.
But if he thinks he's God, forgive him, he's just vain.

And those who really seek the God of love
That between lies and taxes he had spoken of,
To them the angel at the tombstone said,
“Why do you search for the living among the dead?"

And those who really seek the God of love
That they've heard preachers preach and singers singing of,
Let them not trust in sermons or in songs,
Let them hear the angel saying,

“This tomb is empty, there is no decay,
No need for whitewash, and the stone's been rolled away.
This is what prophecy has spoken of
To the ones who still are searching the God of love".

-Marco Klaue and Rob Veith

(A song on the well-known topic of hate crimes committed in the name of a God of Love. This one could probably work as a heavy metal tune if it were mixed differently and if I could scream in the correct octave. Another one that Rob set to music, although on this one I added the words after he had come up with the tune.)
