What Are The Gods Doing
Verse 1
Millenniums have seen fighting
Over the teachings of various faiths
Sides squaring off in battle
Armies slaying others with haste
The Vatican sent forth
Knights in shining armour
The Crusades they called it
In goods name they slaughtered
Chorus
What are the gods doing
So many wars over faith
If there are gods they are busy
Coz everybody is killing in their name
Verse 2
Starkness of the middle east
Fighting for thousands of years
Disputed territory is their argument
Gods to guild their fears
Jews, Christians and Muslims
All fighting for just causes
With gods backing all of them
No sense in their wars
Chorus
What are the gods doing
So many wars over faith
If there are gods they are busy
Coz everybody is killing in their name
Verse 3
Cortez sailed the seas
From the shores of Spain
Gold was in his thoughts
Catholic faith was in his veins
With the churches blessing
He plundered the heathens
Looting, killing and burning
Genocide with no reason
Chorus
What are the gods doing
So many wars over faith
If there are gods they are busy
Coz everybody is killing in their name
Verse 4
Even the muslim factions
Are at each others throats
They all have the same god
Which all they twist to suit
The Kurds, Shiite and the Sunni
Fight in the name of Allah
He must be confused by now
Shaking his head from afar
Chorus
What are the gods doing
So many wars over faith
If there are gods they are busy
Coz everybody is killing in their name
Verse 5
Christianity is not blameless
Look at the burning of witches
Hatred between orange and green
And the terrors of the inquisition
If all the gods were female
Peace would descend on the land
Care and gentleness would rule
Instead of the testosterone of man
Chorus
What are the gods doing
So many wars over faith
If there are gods they are busy
Coz everybody is killing in their name
