Iron Maiden - For The Greater Good Of God Lyrics






Are you a man of peace
Or man of holy war
Too many sides to you
Don't know which any more
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 a sheep's clothing
Or saintly or sinner
Or someone 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 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, 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 of God [x8]

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 of God [x8]

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

  12. M.... M....

    I'm christian and I like this song.

  13. T.... o....

    Perhaps one of the most antiwar songs ever written, with the biggest sympathy to all races and religions, if you feel like the world has gone completely mad and you feel like everyone has forgotten you and that everything is against you, remember that you are not alone and even if youre God himself has forgotten you then by the heavens and by the earth know that Iron Maiden has not, and never will, in that you can trust above all else!

  14. h.... ....

  15. A.... M....

    I can’t stand Iron Maiden but this is maybe their greatest album ever very good stuff man

  16. M.... S....

    Amazing album! Whenever any Maiden song starts, and especially this one, it feels to me like it's telling a story. Then, a phenomenal voice of Bruce enters... I just can't describe how much I love this album. Too bad it's not more popular even between the fans, but I hope that every true fan of Maiden will surely appreciate every single music they made for us!

  17. P.... L....

    Album cover is tattoo material

    I grew up with many people around me listening, and loving Iron Maiden.
    I didn't care much until this album (and THIS song) came out.

    It made me go back to all of the older stuff, seeing it all in a new light. And I fucking love it now.
    They kick arse.

  77. E.... P....

    I definitely know for sure that this song is ultra underrated because I went to a Iron maidens concert yesterday In Mexico and nobody sang this masterpiece.
    I really feel bad.

  78. L.... J....
