• Are you a man of peace
    Or 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 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 of 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

    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
