Mother of Mercy lyrics

Sitting waiting in the falling rain

Getting ready to begin again

Wounded lying, crying, bodies moving, dying

All around there is the smell of death and fire

Hear the planes are coming

Hear the soldiers running

Killing on a scale to comprehend

Why are we here?

In this place... here to kill?

Please God forgive us for

What we have done!

I always thought I was doing right

As of now I'm not feeling so sure

I'm at a place where I give no grace

I'm a soldier of war

I sit waiting for my darkest hour to come

I cannot think about the things that I have done

It shouldn't take a fool to see that I believe

Accept the consequence, repent for what I've done

You tell me what is certain but I'll tell you what is true

You tell me what is honesty, when all around is death and cruelty

The making of a man is fire, not giving into our desires

Within the truth it lies within the only thing

Mother of Mercy

Angel of death desire

Mother of mercy

Taking my last breath of fire

Mother of mercy

Angel of pain

Mother of mercy

Taking my last breath

Some say you are a lost cause, some say you're a saint

Just being here's an act of suffering and restraint

Walk down the long dark road to ruin and panic not

I'll die a lonely death, of that I'm certain of

Rivers flow with blood, there's nowhere left to hide

It's hard to comprehend there's anyone left alive

Sick of all the killing and the reek of death

Will God tell me what religion is to man

I don't hold with bad religion, understand what's underneath it

Now I come to think of it, I just don't hold at all you know it

You say you are a holy man, but what is it you do

From where I stand is nothing but a hollow man I see

Mother of Mercy

Angel of death desire

Mother of mercy

Taking my last breath of fire

Mother of mercy

Angel of pain

Mother of mercy

Taking my last breath

Mother of Mercy

Angel of death desire

Mother of mercy

Taking my last breath of fire

Mother of mercy

Angel of pain

Mother of mercy

Drawing my last breath

I'm just a lonely soldier fighting in a bloody hopeless war

Don't know what I'm fighting, who it is, or what I'm fighting for

Thought it was for money, make my fortune, now I'm not so sure

Seem to just have lost my way
