That They Can Come At A huge Cost
That they can come at a huge cost cannot be deniedReligion, nationalism and patriotic pride
In their honour wars are being waged Worldwide
For God and for Country too many have died.
The troops they are ready and leaving for battle afar
And the clergy are there for to bless them for war
But it seems strange they ask God to help them to do others ill
When Moses Fifth Commandment states thou shalt not kill.
Though with what I do say many may not agree
These men of God seem hypocritical to me
They preach against murder yet for their Country's troops they do pray
Who shoot for to kill in war zones far away.
The praises of war heroes patriots like to sing
But war is a needless and a terrible thing
And that we have not learned from history does seem sad to say
As more people are dying in war zones every day.
