about

One of Sam Castell-Ward's most popular songs; a tuneful look at the use of religion as a motive for war.

lyrics

You say your lord is our saviour while condemning men and women with his might
All you ever talk about is love but then you’re damaging and damning us with your vice

Say killing’s what your god wants
Say it’s your side that your god took
Whatever your faith, your soul won’t be saved
If that’s the way you look at your book

You say you love your neighbour, that’s some sadistic form of love
Their pain may seem to bring you purpose but there’s an unflattering tinge on the fun

Say killing’s what your god wants
Say it’s your side that your god took
Whatever your faith, your soul won’t be saved
If that’s the way you look at your book

You’re saying that this killing’s what your god wants
You’re saying that it’s your side that your god took
Whatever your faith, your soul won’t be saved
If that’s the way you look at your book

You’re follow powers that lie
You think your almighty wants their whims
You’re don’t do what you would have others do
Your actions make others follow suit

Say killing’s what your god wants
Say it’s your side that your god took
Whatever your faith, your soul won’t be saved
If that’s the way you look at your book

You’re saying that this killing’s what your god wants
You’re saying that it’s your side that your god took
Whatever your faith, your soul won’t be saved
If that’s the way you look at your book

If that’s the way, don’t look at your book

If that’s the way, don’t look at your book
