Loving the Alien

Watching them come and go

The Templars and the Saracens

They're traveling the Holy Land

Opening telegrams

Oh, oh

Torture comes and torture goes

Knights who'd give you anything

They bear the cross of Coeur de Leon

Salvation for the mirror blind

Oh, oh

But if you pray

All your sins are hooked upon the sky

Pray, and the heathen lie

Will disappear

Prayers

They hide the saddest view

Believing the strangest things

Loving the alien

And your prayers

They break the sky in two

Believing the strangest things

Loving the alien

Thinking of a different time

Palestine, a modern problem

Bounty and your wealth in land

Terror in a best-laid plan

Oh, oh

Watching them come and go

Tomorrows and the yesterdays

Christians and the unbelievers

Hanging by the cross and nail

Oh, oh

But if you pray

All your sins are hooked upon the sky

Pray, and the heathen lie

Will disappear

Oh, oh

Prayers

They hide the saddest view

Believing the strangest things

Loving the alien

And your prayers

Will break the sky in two

Believing the strangest things

Loving the alien

You'll pray

Till the break of dawn

Believing the strangest things

Loving the alien

And you'll believe

You're loving the alien

Believing the strangest things

Loving the alien

Believing the strangest things

Loving the alien
