about

The first song Brian and Jeff wrote as a team, back in early 2010. Written during the trial of Scott Roeder, the radical pro-lifer who assassinated abortion doctor George Tiller in 2009, this song goes inside the head of a religious fanatic who hears the voice of God telling him to kill all the sinners.

Opening sample: The Hospitaller (David Thewlis) in "Kingdom of Heaven"
Closing sample: The Bishop (Bill Paterson) in "Kingdom of Heaven"

lyrics

["I put no stock in religion. By the word 'religion' I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of God. I've seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers."]

Hear the voice from above
Put their backs against the wall
Judge, jury, and executioner
Answering the call
It’s time to pass the judgment
On those who dwell in sin
Murder in God’s name
Let the bloodshed begin

I’ll paint the walls blood red
I’ll paint the floors blood red
I’ll paint your clothes blood red
Another sign, unleash the killer in my head
Blood red!

The world is sick and I’m the cure
Righteous fury clouds my eyes
God’s light in the muzzle flash
Last thing you see before you die
Welcome the warmth
I offer you here
I’ve chosen you, my child
Have no fear

I’ll paint the walls blood red
I’ll paint the floors blood red
I’ll paint your clothes blood red
Another sign, unleash the killer in my head
Blood red!

The time has come, embrace the Word
You soon shall know the One I serve
You can cry now if you must
But I know that my cause is just
Fighting my own holy war
Leave their bodies on the floor
On your knees, I know I’m right
Here it comes, the blinding light

I’ll paint the walls blood red
I’ll paint the floors blood red
I’ll paint your clothes blood red
Another sign, unleash the killer in my head
Blood red!

["The law can go too far. It can go too far. I ask myself, 'Would Jesus do it thusly?' There is so much done in Christendom of which Christ would be incapable."]
