Artist/Band: Iron Maiden
Lyrics for Song: For The Greater Good Of God
Lyrics for Album: From Fear To Eternity: The Best Of 1990-2010 [2011]



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 breath again



A life that's made to breath

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 as more of famine death and war

You know religion has 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 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



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 for 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 for 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
