Rough Silk Lyrics
"Why"

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
