The song is about a person who puts their faith in their gun and the act of going to war, rather than in religion. They believe that war is necessary, even if it causes pain and death. The lyrics suggest that those who do not understand war should either hate it or kill it, and that even praying to...
You put your faith in Christianity
I put mine in artillery
My M-16, my lord and savior
Christ never done me a motherfucking favor
Pay for all of those in pain
For those who died in vain
Scars from battle nevermore
Still we march off to
War
War
War
War is my shepherd
Hate it if we can't comprehend it
Kill it if we don't understand it
Pray to God and your fate is sealed
As you die alone in the killing fields
Pay for all of those in pain
For those who died in vain
Scars from battle nevermore
Still we march off to
War
War
War
War is my shepherd
Falwell, Graham and Farrakhan
They need God, I need napalm
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition
My sermon is my demolition
War
War is
War is my
War is my shepherd
