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 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 defence

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

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 (8x)

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 (8x)

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
