Wisdom Justice and Love
Linkin Park甀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight,
Because my conscience leaves me no other choice.
A true revolution of values will lay hands on the world order and say of war,
This way of settling difference is, is not just.
This business of burning human beings with napalm,
Filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows,
Of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into veins of peoples normally humane.
Of sending men home from the dark and bloody battlefields
Physically handicapped and psychologically deranged,
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love.
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love.
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love.
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love.




Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love.
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love.

The singer ultimately asserts that these horrific acts cannot be reconciled with the values of wisdom, justice, and love. The song serves as a call to action for listeners to examine their own values and to work towards creating a world ruled by wisdom, justice, and love, rather than violence and hate.

“I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight
Because my conscious leaves me no other choice
The true revolution of values were payed in on world order and say war
His way of settling differences is not just
His business of burning human beings with napalm
Filling our nations homes with offerings and widows of injecting poisonous drugs of hate
Into the vanes of peoples knowledge inaudible
Sending inaudible how it feels to be the captains phycological of the vain?”

“Cannot be reconciled when there’s no justice involved.”

I can't begin to explain to emotions and feelings this track brings out in me. It's years old, the speech itself even older. But yet, still gives me chills.
