Why Lyrics - Rough Silk

Once water took the fire 

And landscapes ate the seas 

Then preachers grew and hatred too 

The birth of a disease 

I'm afraid of new crusaders 

Who force our freedom's fall 

Religions still course so much pain 

And backs against the wall 

Are we just too blind to see 

Will we never learn how great 

This life could be 

Why do we praise the fight 

Tell me why 

Can't we take the night away 

Why must children cry 

Can't we make this world a better place 

Without hatred day by day 

Why can't we finally find a way 

We need no heroes 

To protect us from our fears 

Just by filling children's eyes with tears 

Innocent victims of fanatics gone insane 

"This power will last forever" they said 

And millions died in vain 

Are we just too blind to see 

Why do we praise the fight 

Tell me why 

Can't we take the night away 

Why must children cry 

Can't we make this world a better place 

Without hatred day by day 

Why can't we finally find a way
