Analysis of In The Name Of God
O' Almighty God
Take out my emotions
Turn off my eyes
Close my ears
I am powerless, compelled
And tired
I cannot bear any more
To see the sufferings
Of your created people
On the blue planet
The colour of love, peace
And brotherhood become
The pain and rain,
With the human blood
We fight
In the name of you
We kill each other
In the name of you
We make divisions
In the name of you
We force, we hate
In the name of you
Knowing that
You are love, peace
Justice and protector
For all universes
O God
Our heart and soul holder
Give us new wisdom, feeling
To make shelters than bombs.
