Loving the Alien

Watching them come and go
The Templars and the Saracens
They're travelling in the holy land
Opening telegrams, whoa

Torture comes and torture goes
Knights who'd give you anything
They bear the cross of Coeur de Leon
Salvation for the mirror blind, whoa

But if you pray, all your sins are hooked upon the sky
Pray and the heathen's lie will disappear
Prayers they hide the saddest view
Believing the strangest things, loving the alien
And your prayers they break the skies 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, whoa

Watching them come and go
Tomorrows and the yesterdays
Christians and the unbelievers
Hanging by the cross and nail

But if you pray, all your sins are hooked upon the sky
Pray and the heathen's lie will disappear
Prayers they hide the saddest view
Believing the strangest things, loving the alien
And your prayers they break the skies in two
Believing the strangest things, loving the alien

You 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
