Intro

Verse

A day with no glory

A heart filled with fear

Repeating his story to make ourselves clear

A voice is unheard when it shouts from the hills

Your king in his castle never died on these fields

There’s blood on your hands, a smile on your face

Wicked intention, there’s 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

Chorus

Tell me why, why must we fight

Why must we kill in the name of what we think is right

And no more

No war

‘Cause how do you know?

Verse

The hate in your eyes

The lies on your tongue

A hand that kills the innocent, so quick to do wrong

The 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 freedom, then the truth is untold

Surrender your soldiers like everyone else

If love is my religion, don’t speak for myself

Chorus

Tell me why, why must we fight

Why must we kill in the name of what we think is right

And no more

No war

‘Cause how do you know?

Bridge

And how do you know?

And how do you know?

And how do you know?

And how do you know?

Chorus

Please tell me why, why must we fight

Why must we kill in the name of what we think is right

And no more

No war

‘Cause how do you know?

I'm living this life,

I'm given these lies

And how do I die in the name of what you think is right?

And no more

Oh Lord

‘Cause how do we know?

And how do we know?

And that's it. Really easy, straightforward song. But good nontheless.
