Now That Many Bombs Have Come

Now that many bombs have come
And many shots have filled the air
Look at all those bodies
Dead and scattered everywhere
We might have our reasons
But death can never be undone
God, will you forgive us
For this war we say we've won

Please, we ask for forgiveness
For ending innocent life
Please, we ask for forgiveness
Remembering those who have died
...in vain...in vain...in vain

No one ever wins war
And war will never make us free
Look at all those bodies
And we call this liberty
Hands with blood and tears now
Will be stained for years to come
God will you forgive us
For this war we say we've won

We won't stop with these deaths
There are still more who will die
Because of endless greed
And fear that ever fills our eyes
Please forgive us Jesus
For these things we have done
Help us not forget those
Lives we have undone
