Hide from the public eye, choose to appear when it suits you
Claim you're just, killing women and children
Fight, when you choose to fight, hide in a cave when you're hunted
Like a beast spawned from hell, utilizing fear

Chosen by god or a coward insane?
Stand up and show me your face!

Suicidal, in a trance
A religious army
Fight without a uniform and hide in the crowd
Call it holy, call it just
Authorized by heaven
Leave your wounded as they die, and call it gods will

Run when it's time to pay, fear consequence of your action
Reappear, when you're almost forgotten
Dream of a world in peace, yet you cause pain and destruction
Kill your own, a response of your actions

Captured in all you lies, fear is in your eyes
Creature who's gone insane, your war is in vain
Trapped in a cage of stone, we'll destroy your home
Consequence of your action

The song itself mainly is about Terrorism in the 20th and 21st century. And the hypocrisy of the groups which commit terrorism. As its main points. However the song itself is about terrorism as a whole through history.
It points this out in the first main lines of 'Claim you're just, killing women and children'
The pause in the line is important as it point out the fact that despite most groups saying there actions are 'just' and for a 'good cause' the main victims of terror attacks are mainly women and children.
I'd also like to make a note to read the line as 'Claim you're just killing women and children' Which it is often sang as which gives a different meaning to the lyric.

The latter part of the song also is about the war on terror. Mainly in the lines;
'Captured in all your lies, fear is in your eyes
Creature who has gone insane, your war is in vain
Trapped in a cage of stone, we'll destroy your home
Consequence of your action'
These lines are mainly about the war on terror and I don't really see a way to interpret them otherwise. However other parts can easily be references to terrorism through out history like the 'Reign of Terror' for example.

There is also a large point in the name to 'stand up and show me your face!' this can be seen as a point made that most people who commit terror attacks, often hide their faces, and who often fear consequence of their actions.

The songs name itself leans into this anti terrorism message. With it being the most common justification throughout history for acts of terrorism 'In the name of god'.
