Thrice - Death from Above lyrics
[Thrice - Death from Above lyrics]
I always thought, I always thought
That there was something different
Setting us apart that I was led
That I was led by men with
Sober minds and sympathetic hearts
I swore an oath, swore an oath
But never knew just what it
Was to take a life i play at God
Play at God across such distances and
From so great a height
But, I am never sure who I am killing
How many innocents were in the building?
I drop death out of the
No longer human beings, no longer people
Just targets on a screen, none of it's real
I drop death out of the sky tell me why
One day they sent
One day they sent me to the chaplain
When I said I can't go on all he said
All he said was just to shut my
Mouth and do the "will of God"
But, I am never sure who I am killing
How many innocents were in the building?
I drop death out of the
No longer human beings, no longer people
Just targets on a screen, none of it's real
I drop death out of the sky tell me why?
Tell me why?
"To make us safe, " so it would seem
But we shoot further than we dream
Can’t we see? We only justify
Someone’s resolve to rise against
And to avenge the innocent
And defend the ones that still survive
I'm still asking "why?"
That there was something different
Setting us apart that I was led
That I was led by men with
Sober minds and sympathetic hearts
I swore an oath, swore an oath
But never knew just what it
Was to take a life i play at God
Play at God across such distances and
From so great a height
But, I am never sure who I am killing
How many innocents were in the building?
I drop death out of the
No longer human beings, no longer people
Just targets on a screen, none of it's real
I drop death out of the sky tell me why
One day they sent
One day they sent me to the chaplain
When I said I can't go on all he said
All he said was just to shut my
Mouth and do the "will of God"
But, I am never sure who I am killing
How many innocents were in the building?
I drop death out of the
No longer human beings, no longer people
Just targets on a screen, none of it's real
I drop death out of the sky tell me why?
Tell me why?
"To make us safe, " so it would seem
But we shoot further than we dream
Can’t we see? We only justify
Someone’s resolve to rise against
And to avenge the innocent
And defend the ones that still survive
I'm still asking "why?"
