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

life that's made to breathe
 [bad word] or defense

mind that's vain [bad word] 
bad or good intent

wolf in sheep's clothing

Or saintly or sinner

Or some that would believe

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 could it be in [bad word] 
I feel he's somewhere here

or looking from below

But i don't know, i don't know

Please tell me 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 more 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 religion has a lot to answer for

Please tell me 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

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 the stupidity of man

Tell me why, tell me why

Please tell me 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 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 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 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 those who never mourn his loss

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

Tell me why, tell me why
