In the Name of God

Ivan the Terrible

Walton S. Tissot
All in the name of the god
Born in boiling red terror
Fear and factions plot and code
Fighting for supremacy

Paranoid immaculate
All in the name of the god
Through to the end well and fine
Test of the Old Testament
Live and learn, take the power
Anastasia and reform
All in the name of the god
A golden age short lived

Revenge to those that angered
To appease the all mighty
In his cold and cruel image
All in the name of the god
