For The Greater Good Of God

Are you a man of peaceOr man of holy warToo many sides to youDon't know which any moreSo many full of lifeBut also filled with painDon't know just how manyWill live to breathe againA life that's made to breathDestruction or defenseA mind that's vain corruptionBad or good intentA wolf in a sheep's clothingOr saintly or sinnerOr someone that would beliveA holy war winnerThey fire off many shotsAnd many parting blowsTheir actions beyond a reasoningOnly god would knowAnd as he lies in heavenOr it could be in hellI feel he's somewhere hereOr looking from belowBut I don't know, I don't knowPlease tell me now what life isPlease tell me now what love iswell tell me now what war isAgain tell me what life isMore pain and misery in the history of mankindSometimes is seems more like the blind leading blindIt brings upon us more of famine death and warYou know religion has a lot of answers forPlease tell me now what life isPlease tell me now what love iswell tell me now what war isAgain tell me what life isAnd as they search to find the bodies in the sandThey find it's ashes that are scattered across the landAnd as their spirits seem to whistle on the windA shot is fired somewhere another war beginsAnd all because of it you'd think that we would learnBut still the body count the city fires burnSomewhere there's someone dying in a foreign landMeanwhile the world is crying stupidity of manTell me why, tell me whyPlease tell me now what life isPlease tell me now what love iswell tell me now what war isAgain tell me what life isPlease tell me now what life isPlease tell me now what love iswell tell me now what war isAgain tell me what life isFor the greater good of GodPlease tell me now what life isPlease tell me now what love iswell tell me now what war isAgain tell me what life isFor the greater good of GodHe gave his life for us he fell upon the crossTo die for all of those who never mourn his lossIt wasn't meant for us to feel the pain againTell me why, tell me why
