Cast the First Stone

Back in time before they crossed the line And the truth was made of gold Cross of paths that was based on the past Or so the story goes Strike fear and the end draws near And the peasants wore a blindfold Stack 'em up, stack 'em up, burn 'em down And the peace remains unknown Burdened by a faith Lost without a trace Crippled by the tools Made by the hands of fools Start the fire And cast the first stone "Teach me", said the God to the king "This is all the things I see" Mean man just doesn't understand But he does it all for me Take a stand, beat the devil's hand You'll be dreaming on a bed of nails Last prayer in the Cecil square Choose a place that you will fail "Forget it, the war is won" Said the God behind his son Desperate hold him down Beware the cross and crown Start the fire And cast the first stone Calm down, comes without a sound And the peace remains unknown Don't tell you are destined to fail But you'll be useless on your own Still refuse to fire as they run born alive And your soul becomes a stone Stack 'em up, stack 'em up To atone his holy flesh and bone Burdened by a faith Lost without a trace Crippled by the fools Start the fire "Forget it, the war is won" Said the God behind his son Desperate hold him down Beware the cross and crown Start the fire And cast the first stone Cast the first stone
