[Iron Maiden - For the Greater Good of God lyrics]

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
Breathe 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 the 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 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 it's ashes that are
Scattered across the land
And as the spirit's 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
