Rusty Nail - For The Greater Good Of God (Iron Maiden Cover) Lyrics

Are you a man of peace
Or man of holy war
Too many sides to you
Don't know wich 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
desctruction of defense
A mind thats vain corruption
Bad or good intent
A wolf in sheeps clothing
Or saintly or sinner
Or some that would believe
A holy war winner

They fire off many shols
and many parling 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 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 acros the land
And as their spirits seem to whistle in the wind
A shot is fired somewhere another war begins

And all becouse of it you'd think
That we would learn
But still the body count the city fires burn
Somewhere ther'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 mour his loss
It wasn't meant for us to feel the pain again
Tell my why, tell me why
