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...
