HELLOWEEN

- Why Lyrics

Father, it's time
Have a heart for your child who cries in pain
Not a new sign
But a strike that'll blow those fools away

Open your eyes
If you've got any you just look for too long a time
They spit on your name
Doin' everything darned as highest crime

They believe they could walk on the water
Playin' godsleep with the Devils daughter
Killed your son and might kill mine
But you don't mind

Why, Lord, why, tell me why?
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason, why

How could you fail?
Still it's time, turn the black into the light
Why do you wait?
Do you look down and laugh at what you find?
Can't you see they are mistreating their daughters
They believe they could walk on the waters
They killed your son and might kill mine
But you don't mind

Why, Lord, why, tell me why?
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason why

Why, Lord, why, tell me why?
Your the only light
Forever lasting
Tell me father, why

Why, Lord, why, tell me why?
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason why

Why, lord, why, tell me why?
Your the only light
Forever lasting
Tell me father, why

Father it's time
Father it's time
Father it's time

What is the meaning behind Why lyrics?


When we think about what all of this might truly mean, Helloween's 'Why?' challenges a higher power's indifference toward human suffering and injustice through metaphors which demonstrate arrogance and power misuse by people who act as if they can 'walk on water' and 'play God'. The song lyrics of Why focus on five main themes: spirituality and reflection and despair and social commentary and angst. The song shows how essential people need to question God while they face injustice and suffering and build their faith and hope. The lyrics present violent themes and suffering themes together with strong language that becomes inappropriate for younger viewers. The musical invites listeners to explore their faith while depicting social issues through its mature content.

Only Helloween can answer that but they talk about people that believe that they could 'walk on the water' and (talking to the lord) 'killed your son and might kill mine but you don't mind' -- sounds antisemitic to me. Ze Germanz are at it again?! ;)
