For the Greater Good of God Lyrics


Are you a man of peace or man of holy war?

Too many sides to you - don't know which any more

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 a sheep's clothing or saintly or sinner

Or someone 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 is seems more like the blind leading blind

It brings upon us more of famine death and war

You know religion has a lot of answers 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...

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...

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 fell the pain again

Tell me why... Tell me why...
