Discover the story of the song > War Is My Shepherd – Exodus

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 God cannot save someone from dying in battle. The protagonist contrasts themselves to religious leaders, saying that they need napalm instead of God.
