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 breathe destruction or defense

A mind that's vain corruption, bad or good intent

A wolf in a 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

Their 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

Sometimes it seems more like the blind leading the blind

It brings upon us more of famine, death and war

You know religion has a lot to answer for

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

And as they search to find the bodies in the sand

They find it's ashes that are scattered across the land

And as their 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 there's 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 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

For the greater good of God

For the greater good of God

For the greater good of God

For the greater good of God

For the greater good of God

For the greater good of God

For the greater good of God

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

For the greater good of God

For the greater good of God

For the greater good of God

For the greater good of God

For the greater good of God

For the greater good of God

For the greater good of God

He gave his life for us, He fell upon the cross

To die for all of those who never mourn His loss

It wasn't meant for us to feel the pain again

Tell me why, tell me why
