Imagine walking the street on an average day The suns out, and a warm breeze your way You witness play as you walk towards the store, you just need to finish a quick chore So many feet rapidly beat across the concrete You soon approach the door, but suddenly you feel a searing fire melt your skin And then you hear a pop so loud that a roaring sound pierces into brain Never in your have you felt such pain You couldn't fathom is going on You look around you but your world is did such chaos encompass your existence Smoke and fire the air Everywhere the floor is stained in from severed limbs So dead lay all around you You look to the sky and wonder how horror found you And why someone kill such innocent people the reality astounds you Then you try to get up but the ground you You lift your head to find your are gone And the rest of your body is so damaged you wonder how you're on And you realize you never may have love again And to family and friends you'll never get to say goodbye So you start to cry as you die on this hard ground The piercing ringing of vanishing hopes and dreams will be the last sound As you take your final breath the pain emanates from your core And you Ask What
(Melodic Interlude)
Why are we killing so people? day the news is the same nightmare but a sequel We are all But who of us to see it? tell us to be good but who of us want to be it? Am I the only one that it? these wars cannot bring peace That the of an entire nation to war only creates oppression And oppression, has been proven To bring more war So as we continue to kill other I ask What For?

Its within the Koran do not kill disbelievers, Let them be, and Coexist in Peace said love your enemies and it's written within the Torah that thou shall not kill Then why in the name of religion so much innocent blood spill? What it be, is religious misinterpretation the key? Because I hope we see its religions that were to decree Peaceful to help bring unity Not more conflict that will never set us Creating and repeating more and more If we just our eyes we will see The Destruction that has been from city to city So many dead as though it seem this bloodshed is How can it not be evident taking loved ones is senseless Taking people's to Live, Right to Love And enforcing belief through violence to force people into silence Will only breed hatred and And the proper treatment and rights people will organize fights to live in freedom Rather die in oppression Therefore the Blood we spill quickly spark into more war And is that really religion is for? A never ending cycle of Or is there something Are religious struggles never ending struggles through death? Or are they Productive battles of the Struggles to spread knowledge and wisdom for that is the way we will not fall behind That is the only interpretation of religion that can peace And as said before Religions were created to peace not war So as we continue to kill each other I ask What
(Chorus Repeat)
Verse
From Syria to Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Turkey and So many Oppressive governments repeatedly cause uprisings and war So I ask For? Are we to continue to ignore history? Because we keep on repeating the past and that's no So I want to say this to be, Clear History has shown will revolt from tactics based upon Fear People would die fighting for Freedom live under Oppression So governments must stop the and either be for the people By the people, or Be Because we need a helpful government for us all to get along And governments; should helping be wrong? Don't you all want to feel like your efforts made a difference? Instead of spending your whole lives repeating the same problems that been there since your birth Don't you all want to feel like something has actually changed you entered this earth? that is exactly what you will feel when you choose to help people out And the great rate of infinitesimal that will arise from it will prove to you what life is all about But is no doubt That without every one of you oppressive governments will continue to fall And senseless battles will continue to re-upload and install So let us and stop these senseless wars for us all Before die Before hundreds of thousands more are wasted Wasted upon thousands of building and Wasted Fighting over and Greed Wasted fighting back in hatred Wasted in misinterpreted not making a difference And In Oppression So let us Stop the Aggression we repeat the same mistakes anymore And ask
For?
