Welcome my friends,
We open our gates to you, for this is the holy land.
In God we trust.
All are welcome in this place;
We just ask that you talk like us, walk like us.
If only we could force thought.
Trust in me, put your faith in me, the holy land.
I am the only God that matters.
Join in our noble crusade.
Give up all you are to witness a miracle.
Watch bodiless flight.
Witness the ground move itself for us,
Cough up its dirt and choke the sky.
Fear not for those below; they have reached transcendence.
They claimed this sand as sacred ground;
The mad faceless prophet never told them of this.
They never knew they lived a lie.
We gave them redemption,
And before the dust sprang around their bodies,
We showed them light, and they witnessed the face of the Spirit.
It passed across their eyes with a blur and deafening roar.
God came in a mighty wind as Sodom and Gomorrah fell.
We are God.
We are the Angel of Death.
And we invite you to share in our great mercy;
We offer freedom.
All we wait for is your conversion,
To accept us as your savior.
We are mighty Rome, sweeping the world into our grip.
This reign will prove eternal.
