What For?

from In Another Time by Skellig

/

lyrics

What fading glory is there to a dry nation's tears?
When one man signs along the line and sells its
Sells its faith for fears

We heed the call and feel the pain
The world reels from her wounds again
And stands against the driving rain of war

What holy prayers devout and true
Are offered for those blind?
Who wouldn't abort life's embryo with one small
One small change of mind

We heed the call and feel the pain
The world reels from her wounds again
And stands against the driving rain of war

What's the senseless killing for? War! War!
Do we really have to kill each other? War!

What mother's hope remains alive?
Her tears the sad goodbye
The child of love a man of war
The youth still, youth still in his eyes

We heed the call and feel the pain
The world reels from her wounds again
And stands against the driving rain of war

What's the senseless killing for?
