La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
I always thought, I always thought
That there was something different, setting us apart
That I was led, that I was led by men
With sober minds and sympathetic hearts
I swore an oath, swore an oath
But never knew just what it was to take a life
I play at God, play at God across the distances
And from so great a height
But I am never sure who I am killing
How many innocents were in the building?
I drop death out of the
No longer human beings, no longer people
Just targets on a screen, none of it's real
I drop death out of the sky, tell me why
One day they sent, one day they sent me to the chaplain
When I said I can't go on
All he said, all he said was just to shut my mouth
And do the will of God
But I am never sure who I am killing
How many innocents were in the building?
I drop death out of the
No longer human beings, no longer people
Just targets on a screen, none of it's real
I drop death out of the sky... Tell me why?
Tell me why?
To make us safe, so it would seem
But we shoot further than we dream
Can’t we see? We only justify
Someone’s resolve to rise against
And to avenge the innocent
And defend the ones that still survive
I'm still asking: why?
