Watching them come and go
The Templars and the Saracens
They're travelling the holy land
Opening telegrams
Torture comes and torture goes
Knights who'd give you anything
They bear the cross of Coeur de Leon
Salvation for the mirror blind
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
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 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
You pray til 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
