for the greater good of god ist voll davon:
Are you a man of peace (rhet.Frage)
Or a man of holy war (rhet.Frage)
Too many sides to you
Don’t know which anymore
So many full of life
But also filled with pain
Don’t know just how many
Will live to breathe again
A life that’s made to breathe
Destruction or defense (Alliteration)
A mind that’s vain corruption
Bad or good intent (ist auch irgendeins..gegensätzliche formulierung oder so)
A wolf in sheep’s clothing (metapher)
Or saintly or sinner ( wieder gegensätzliches ding..kA wies heisst
) und ( Anapher)
Or some that would believe (Anapher OR)
A holy war winner ( Alliteration)
They fire off many shots
And many parting blows
Their actions beyond a reasoning
Only God would know ( rhet.frage)
And as he lies in heaven ( heaven -> hell)
Or it could be in hell (hell->heaven)
I feel he’s somewhere here
Or looking from below
But I don’t know, I don’t know (Anapher)
Please tell me now what life is (rhet.Frage)
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is ( Zum Refrain ist zu sagen: erst rhet. Frage: sag mir was leben ist , sag mir was liebe ist und DANN sag mir was krieg ist und sag mir JETZT nochmal was leben ist...also das zeigt ganz deutlich die kritik)
More pain and misery in the history of mankind
Sometimes it seems more like
The blind leading the blind ( !!!!!! oft verwendete formulierung ...auch anapher)
It brings upon us more famine, death and war
You know religion has a lot to answer for (auch irgendwas..weiß nicht nur mehr genau was für ein stilmittel)
Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is ( s.o)
And as they search to find the bodies in the sand (Metapher)
They find its ashes that are (Metapher)
Scattered across the land
And as the spirits seem to whistle on the wind (whistle -> wind - > Alliteration)
A shot is fired somewhere another war begins
And all because of it you’d think
That we would learn
But still the body count the city fires burn (ALLITERATIONEN !!!!!!!!!) -(PERSONIFIKATION)
Somewhere there's someone dying
In a foreign land (Metapher)
Meanwhile the world is crying stupidity of man (PERSONIFIKATION)
Tell me why, tell me why (rhet. frage)
Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is
Please tell me now what life is (s.o und Anaphern und alliterationen)
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is
For the greater good of God (x8) (anaphern)
Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is
Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is
For the greater good of God (x8)
He gave his life for us (Anapher -> he , he )
He fell upon the cross
To die for all of those ( z. 3 und 4 sind wiedersprüchlich)
who never mourn his loss ("")
It wasn’t meant for us
to feel the pain again
Tell me why, tell me why (rhet.frage)
