For The Greater Good of God – Iron Maiden

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                (sing365)
