Intro
While you sleep
We gather with thousands of men
While you dream, we come to the gates
While you laugh peacefully, we fight
While you are happy to be in your native land
You give away authority over our flesh
In order to be lord in a foreign land
For that, we fight and murder
Refrain
Today today today
Today God was not here
Verse 1
When the Seat of Peter mixes poison
And meets with intrigue and fornication
Calling earthly goods its own
The pyre burns into heaven
Incest occurs on holy ground
Lingering on ostentatious strongholds
Enemies disposed of without scruples
And all the while God's word is preached
Then I say to you...
Refrain
Today God was not here
Today today today
Today God was not here
Verse 2
When bodies float above the ground
And animals lift themselves above humans
In your skull, dull lightening hits
Fallen angels carry your gravestone
When God's women go to hell
To reveal themselves to princes
God's men hand head first on the cross
And with their blood burst open the ground
Then I say to you...
[Refrain]
Today God was not here
Choir
The Lord will slay the wicked vengefuly
His hands will drowse the desert in blood
