For The Greater Good Of God |
Are you a man of peace |
Or a man of holy war |
Too many sides to you |
Don’t know which anymore |
So many full of life |
But also filled with pain |
Don’t know just how many |
Will live to breathe again |
A life that’s made to breath |
Destruction or defense |
A mind that’s vain corruption |
Bad or good intent |
A wolf in sheep’s clothing |
Or saintly or sinner |
Or some that would believe |
A holy war winner |
They fire off many shots |
And many parting blows |
There actions beyond a reasoning |
Only god would know |
And as he lies in heaven |
Or it could be in hell |
I feel he’s somewhere here |
Or looking from below |
But I don’t know, I don’t know |
Please tell me now what life is |
Please tell me now what love is |
Well tell me now what war is |
Again tell me what life is |
More pain and misery in the history of mankind |
Sometime it seems more like |
The blind leading the blind |
It brings upon us more famine, death and war |
You know religion has a lot to answer for |
And as they search to find the bodies in the sand |
They find its ashes that are |
Scattered across the land |
And as the spirits seem to whistle on the wind |
A shot is fired somewhere another war begins |
And all because of it you’d think |
That we would learn |
But still the body count the city fires burn |
Somewhere theres someone dying |
In a foreign land |
Meanwhile the world is crying stupidity of man |
Tell me why, tell me why |
Please tell me now what life is |
Please tell me now what love is |
Well tell me now what ware is |
Again tell me what life is |
Please tell me now what life is |
Please tell me now what love is |
Well tell me now what war is |
Again tell me what life is |
For the greater good of god (x 8) |
Please tell me now what life is |
Please tell me now what love is |
Well tell me now what war is |
Again tell me what life is |
Please tell me now what life is |
Please tell me now what love is |
Well tell me now what war is |
Again tell me what life is |
For the greater good of god (x 8) |
He gave his life for us he fell upon the cross |
To die for all of those who never mourn him |
It wasn’t meant for us to feel the pain again |
Tell me why, tell me why |
