Why
Hunter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I cry
Lonely tears in scarlet rain
Am I a victim of Your will?
My life goes on
There are so many questions
I'm still waitin' for response
still waitin' for Your sign
I am lookin' for You
Burn in fire
I hear Your silence

The man asked:
Do You really want to kill me?
Then he put his gun away
So let it be
My life is in Your hands
I will turn around my friend
I still keep my faith and now
I'll wait
Will You shoot at my back?

'Cause' I am (like a blindman) lookin' for You
Who's deaf now?
Burn in chaos
I hear Your silence!
Waitin' (still waitin' ) for Your word
I'm prayin' for Your sign
Why You let us dyin' ?

Great War goes on
I can not find Great Reason
Would You ever tell me, why ?

Terrible Dark
There is no escape or hiding
Fate's never seems to change
Neverending cryin'
Time runs, still blind
Fills like an empty shell empty shell
I hope You can give me Your sign 'cause'

I am (like a blindman) lookin' for You
Who's deaf now?
Burn in chaos
I hear Your silence
Waitin' for Your word, for Your sign
I hear Your silence

Great War goes on
I can not find Great Reason
Would You ever tell me, why ?

Free will
Some of us deserve to die
In this perfect test of faith
My life goes on
There are so many questions

I'm still waitin' for response
Still wait
Will You choose me

I am (like a blindman) lookin' for You
Who's deaf now?
Burn in chaos
I hear Your silence
Waitin' (still waitin' ) for Your word
I'm prayin' for Your sign
Why You let us dyin' ?

Great War goes on




I can not find Great Reason
Would You ever tell me, why
