What For

(album: Meanwhile - 1991)

Tell me all what happens
In the name of God
All the misunderstandings
Of the written word
The crusader stories
The killing
For the true faith
The persecution
Of the jews
All the unknown pain

What for?
A place in heaven
In another world?
What for?
As a final solution
In a fight against ourselves!?

Tell me all what happens
Far away from
Good and bad
Our mental frontiers
Where sense stops to explain
Any kind of hatred
The witch is hunting
All the misunderstandings
Which happened
In a coloured
Christian world

What for?
The defense of culture
The excuse for all?
What for?
A kind of magic
In a fascinated world
