Mother of Mercy
Sitting waiting in the falling rainGetting ready to begin again
Wounded lying, crying, bodies moving, dyingAll around there is the smell of death and fire
Hear the planes are comingHear the soldiers runningKilling on a scale to comprehend
Why are we here?In this place... here to kill?Please God forgive us forWhat we have done!
I always thought I was doing rightAs of now I'm not feeling so sure
I'm at a place where I give no graceI'm a soldier of war
I sit waiting for my darkest hour to comeI cannot think about the things that I have doneIt shouldn't take a fool to see that I believeAccept the consequence, repent for what I've done
You tell me what is certain but I'll tell you what is trueYou tell me what is honesty, when all around is death and crueltyThe making of a man is fire, not giving into our desiresWithin the truth it lies within the only thing
Mother of MercyAngel of death desireMother of mercyTaking my last breath of fireMother of mercyAngel of painMother of mercyTaking my last breath
Some say you are a lost cause, some say you're a saintJust being here's an act of suffering and restraintWalk down the long dark road to ruin and panic notI'll die a lonely death, of that I'm certain of
Rivers flow with blood, there's nowhere left to hideIt's hard to comprehend there's anyone left aliveSick of all the killing and the reek of deathWill God tell me what religion is to manI don't hold with bad religion, understand what's underneath itNow I come to think of it, I just don't hold at all you know itYou say you are a holy man, but what is it you doFrom where I stand is nothing but a hollow man I see
Mother of MercyAngel of death desireMother of mercyTaking my last breath of fireMother of mercyAngel of painMother of mercyTaking my last breath
Mother of MercyAngel of death desireMother of mercyTaking my last breath of fireMother of mercyAngel of painMother of mercyDrawing my last breath
I'm just a lonely soldier fighting in a bloody hopeless warDon't know what I'm fighting, who it is, or what I'm fighting forThought it was for money, make my fortune, now I'm not so sureSeem to just have lost my way
