Step down from the pulpit
I may crawl in the dark but you’re blinded by light
Reducing the world to squares black and white - step down
To ancient applause you’ve rewritten the laws
End: Inquisition; enter: Imposition
Step down from the pulpit
Step down from the throne
I believe nothing
I believe that freedom of religion implies
Not picking your poison but choosing not to imbibe
That wearing a burqa in public is neither a crime nor mandate
That marriage is not an affair of the state
Separate church and state now
Tear the binding out
The musty tome
Is all your own
The men of the cloth have broken their troth
Cleave church and state
Leave behind the hate
Step down
Pawn takes the bishop - checkmate

A blueprint scrawled by a hurried hand, an ambush planned
Darkness falls on empty streets; the city sleeps
Here and now
Apparitions materialize; no place to hide
Participant or passerby? Who decides?
Now I see what's in store
A one-way trip to a kangaroo court
No one to read my rights
I won't be home tonight
Participant or passerby? Justice is blind?
Participant or passerby? Justice denied.
Now we see what's in store
A one-way trip to a kangaroo court
No one to read our rights
We won't be home tonight
So don’t wait up tonight
We won't be home tonight

Stop - here we go again
Innocent but again forced in and at the stand
Why am I waiting for both sides to run and hide?
"(I) don't think I want you in my life"
So why should I have you in mine?
Interpretation
Stop - what do you want from me?
I've tried everything but it gets me nothing or less
My reputation goes on and on but it's just
