How Many Times?

How Many Times? Lyrics

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
