Hand of God Songtext
von Pesta

He lived a quiet life on his farm.
No surprise or novelty ...
He felt that something else was missing.
He was not complete
He found shelter and protection ...
In a certain religion.

Newly converted to a sect
It was inflamed with religious fervor
Closing in a world ...
That existed just inside his head.

I am the "Second Abraham"!
I have no crime or sin
I follow your orders without question. Oh Lord!
I am the hand of God and evil I will sweep away.


Proud of himself as a good servant ...
Locked himself with barricaded doors and windows.
Waiting for a miracle... which never came.
After his imprisonment with a distorted mind ...
Whispered songs and hymns.
For a broken promise ...
And the weight of the loss in his memory.

And so it was commanded!
That you sacrifice your own daughter...
Of (only) five years old.
As a symbol of purity ...
In the prime of your life
You will see my power through my miracles ...
And on Sunday she will rise again.

He made an altar on the kitchen table an altar made was improvised
Stabbed to death a life was mown
At dawn on a Thursday.
Stabbed to death a life was mown
At dawn on a Thursday.

He believed that he received messages from God.
I am the "Second Abraham"!
I have no crime or sin
I follow your orders without question. Oh Lord!
I am the hand of God and evil I will sweep away.


I am the "Second Abraham"!
I have no crime or sin
I follow your orders without question. Oh Lord!
I am the hand of God and evil I will sweep away.
