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 said I can't go on

But all he said... 

All he said was just to shut my mouth and do the will of God



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
