Death From Above - Thrice
I always thought
Always thought that there was something different setting us apart
That I was led
I was led by men with sober minds and sympathetic hearts
I swore an oath
Swore an oath but never knew just what it was to take a life
To play at god
Play at god across such distances and from so great a height
But I am never sure who I am killing
How many innocents were in the building
I drop death out of the
No longer human beings no longer people
Just targets on a screen none of it's real
I drop death out of the sky
Tell me why
One day they sent
One day they sent me to the chaplain when I said can't go on
But all he said
All he said was just to shut my mouth and do the will of god
But I am never sure who I am killing
How many innocents were in the building
I drop death out of the
No longer human beings no longer people
Just targets on a screen none of it's real
I drop death out of the sky
Tell me why
Tell me why
To make us safe so it would seem
But we shoot further than we dream
Can't we see we only justify
Someone's resolve to rise against
And to avenge the innocent
And defend the ones that still survive
So I'm still asking why
