Faceless Cowards

We call them faceless cowards,
Awful monsters evil and vile,
Shall we ever understand why,
Or will we be, forever in denial.

That our god would allow this,
Why these innocents must die,
We struggle with the horror
Please tell us god, please why

But surely in their own minds,
They thought their deeds were just
Why would they inflict this horror
Turn buildings and dreams to dust

Romans thought that they were right
In the name of the gods, it was no loss
To take a simple man, a preacher
And they nailed him to a cross

He said, Father forgive them,
They know not what they do
He died there on that hillside
For the sins of me and you

The world cries in the Name of God,
Our deeds are right and true
We must avenge the injustices
They inflict on me and you

Please Father in your mercy,
Shine down your guiding light
Send loving angels to our hearts,
We pray, show us what is right

I hear your voice so often, you whisper in my ear
Budda, God, or Allah, no matter What the name
If man would only understand this golden rule,
Feel my love, know surely. we are, One God the same.
