Lyrics
Why...?
Talked to the Roman Nyro in my Dream
In shame, Nyro asked this of me:
"Why...? Why not learn from our mistakes? The World can not be owned. Shed no more Blood. Far Too Thinly Spread: Arrogant Empire Dead..."
Quizzed by the demon Murmur in my Dream.
Out of questions, he just laughed at me:
"Ha! Ha! Your leaders succeed at Deceipt. Ha! Ha! I chisel away their Clay Feet!"
Angel Zuriel is in my Dream.
With Crystal Tears Angel Weeps:
"Why...? Why...? Why all the Poverty?"
Why: All the Wealth resides on High: Enslaving the Peasants, Raping the Planet.
Oh Dear Zuriel: What should I tell my People to Break these Chains?
Why...? Why...?
Talked to Creator in my Dream.
Creator asked this of me:
"Why...? Why...? Why do they kill in My Name? Why...? Why...? Why all the greed in My Name?"
Oh My Sweet Lord: Dare I be so Bold: I do not have answers for Thee....
Only more questions....
Only more prayers....
