A man's war

Would the winds hold form

Seeing the rivers bloat 

Over fed by the hills 

At the start of the stream 

A little trickle 
A little trickle down it flows 

Is God, one known to favor 

And with selected preference 

To owe allegiance to man 

But not to all men 

To watch blindly as man 

Destroys another 

All in his name 
Martyrdom in his name 

They yell and scream "for your blessing"
His name before battle 

We fight for our God 
This is for the lord 

How is that to be explained 

I created all the universe 

Yet I can not win the hearts 

Of all men, not all men on my side 

This is man's war, all of it 

This is man's greed, all of it 

Masqueraded as a holy war 

A jihad, a crusade; this is man's war 

From the beginning of time 

This has all and always been man's war 

Yet with so little value on purpose 

Since we keep lying to ourselves 

That it is, anything but a man's war 

All of it, all the blood, all the pain 

No morality to fight for 

No course so great

And God wanders why 

And what to do with us 

Fighting the two thousand year war 
Just to destroy all that he created 

In his name 
This has always been man's war
