I try to tear myself away

I'm gripped by the news

I've heard it said in times of war the first to die is the truth

I'm damned if I know the answer

I need one today

I'm damned if I know the answer

So godless I wait

Shame upon the wounded soul

Who finds his voice in the guns

Shame on you who use this fear

A plague upon your sons

I'm damned if I know the answer

I need one today

I'm damned if I know the answer

So godless I wait

I try to tear myself away

I'm gripped by the news

The lines are drawn, the wars go on, Christian, Muslim and Jews...

I'm damned if I know the answer

We need one today

I'm damned if I know the answer

So godless I wait
