Tell Me Why

P.O.D. · When Angels and Serpents Dance [2008]

A day with no glory

A heart filled with fear

Still repeating his story

To make ourselves clear

A voice is unheard when it shouts from the hills

Your king in his castel

Never died on these fields



His blood on your hands

A smile on your face

But wicked intentions

When his money to be made

A room with no windows

And a heart that can't feel

Shame with no convictions and a view to a kill



Tell me why

And why must we fight

And why must we kill in the name of what we think is right

and no more

no war

is how do you know



The hate in your eyes

The lies on your tongue

A hand that kills the innocence who quit to do wrong

your belly is full

While we fight for what remains

The rich getting richer

While the poor become slaves



We kill our own brothers

The truth is never told

If victory is freedome

Then the truth is untold

Surrender your soldiers

Like everyone else

If love is my religion

Don't speak for myself



Tell me why

And why must we fight

And why must we kill in the name of what we think is right

And no more

No war

Is how do you know



And how do you know ? (4X)



And please tell me why

And why must we fight

And why must we kill in the name of what we think is right

And no more

No war

Is how do you know



I'm living this life

I'm givin this lies

And how do i die for the name of what you think is right

And no more

HoO Lord

Is how do we know

And how do we know?
