How Many Times?
How many times must we die
And how many times must we live
Why must the truth be denied
When will the truth be revealed
How many times must we learn
And how many times must we fall
How many times must we burn
For us to be one and all
You tell me that you're home again
The sun will wake up the sky
With feelings of love
How many times must we kill
And how many times must we win
When will the earth just stand still
So we can stop murdering our kin
You tell me that you're home again
The sun will wake up the sky
Why must we be born again
To revel in your light
With feelings of love
God waved us goodbye
To learn to love and to die
Death screams goodbye
We belong to the night
You prophesized all of this
From Belfast to Soweto
We canonized all profits
From Gaza to the ghettos
Injustice, we're the witness
To the dreamless and the hopeless
Forgiveness for the witness
In this callous prognosis
God waved us goodbye
To learn to love and to die
Death screams goodbye
We belong
God waved us goodbye
To learn to love and to die
Death screams goodbye
We belong to the night
How many times must we die
And how many times must we live
