paroles de chanson For the Greater Good of God - Iron Maiden

Are you a man of peace
Or a 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 breath
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
A famine, death and war
You know religion has
A lot to 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 its ashes that are
Scattered across the land
And as the 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
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
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
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
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
