For the Greater Good of God (Live in Mexico City, Palacio de los Deportes, Mexico, September 2019)

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 breath 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
Many parting blows
Their actions beyond a reason
Only God would know
And as he lies in heaven
Or it could be in hell
I feel he's looking down
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 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
Mexico, 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
Please, tell me now what life is, tell me what war
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, you sing it
(For the greater good of God) Any particular 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, tell me what life
Please, tell me now what love is, tell me what war
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, Mexico City
(For the greater good of God)
(For the greater good of God)
(For the greater good of God)
For the greater good of God

Gave his life for us, he fell upon the cross
To die for all of those who never mourn his loss
Wasn't meant for us to feel the pain again
Tell me why
Tell me why
