Lyrics
GHOSTS of LOVE
The ghosts of love that haunt my soul
Come each night to extract their toll
That September morning my future died
Left me cold and longing for a place to hide
I can't forget what they took from me
So much hate inside that I'll never be free
I see a future that's dark and it's bleak
Can I ever find the peace that I seek
In a world where religions preach war
Does God exist? Will his love endure?
Lord send me your love and show me the way
I need your help to get through one more day
Does evil reside in a mosque or a church?
It always depends on who does the search
Things we do now forge our children's tomorrow
Will it be of love or unending sorrow?
Do we have the strength to love one another
To put down our fears and live as brothers
In a world where religions preach war
Does God exist? Can his love endure?
For evil was born in the minds of men
Do we have the wisdom to see its end?
In a world where religions preach war
In a world where religions preach war
Don't tell me your lies I can't take anymore
Of a world where religions preach war
