Death from Above |
I always thought, I always thought, that there was something different, |
setting us apart |
That I was led, that I was led by men with sober minds and sympathetic hearts |
I swore an oath, swore an oath, but never knew just what it was to take a life |
I play at God, play at God across such distances and from so great a height |
But I am never sure who I am killing |
How many innocents were in the building? |
I drop death out of the |
No longer human beings, no longer people |
Just targets on a screen, none of it’s real |
I drop death out of the sky… Tell me why |
One day they sent, one day they sent me to the chaplain when I said I can’t go |
on |
All he said, all he said was just to shut my mouth and do the «will of God» |
But I am never sure who I am killing |
How many innocents were in the building? |
I drop death out of the |
No longer human beings, no longer people |
Just targets on a screen, none of it’s real |
I drop death out of the sky… Tell me why? |
Tell me why? |
«To make us safe,» so it would seem |
But we shoot further than we dream |
Can’t we see? |
We only justify |
Someone’s resolve to rise against |
And to avenge the innocent |
And defend the ones that still survive |
I’m still asking «why?» |
