In The Name of...

First came love,

And words of god.

Then we tried,

To live our lives.

And we found,

That it was lost.

So we warred,

In his holy names.

Somehow to help,

With all our pain.

Looking out,

For personal gains.

Now this world,

Don't mean a thing.

There's just one word,

That I believe.

Now there's nothing,

Left to show.

Just one word,

No one,

Seems to know.

Then we searched,

In foreign lands.

For strength,

In fallen hands.

Said we're building,

Them a life.

We're saving them,

From strife.

Now its slipping,

Through our fists.

Yet we fight,

Those who resist.

Now this world,

Don't mean a thing.

There's just one word,

That I believe.

Now there's nothing,

Left to show.

Just one word,

No one,

Seems to know.

We say we're winning,

In this war.

Yet the ending,

Seems so far.

Why do our leaders,

Stand so tall.

Innocent men,

Around him fall.

Now this world,

Don't mean a thing.

There's just one word,

That I believe.

Now there's nothing,

Left to show.

Just one word,

No one,

Seems to know.
