Mother of mercy

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 tire
Here 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 of where
I give no grace
I´m a soldier of war
I sit waiting for my darkest hour
To come
I cannont think about the things
That i have done
It shouldn´t take fool to see
That I belive
Accepet the consequence
Repent for what i´ve done
you tell me what is certain
But I´ll tell you what is true
You tellme what is honesty
When all around is death
And cruelty
The Making of a man is fire
Not giving in to our desires
Within the truth that lies
Within the only thing
Mother Mercy
Angel of death desire
Mother Mercy Taking My last breath of fire
Mother mercy
Angel of Pain
Mother Mercy
Taking my last breath
Some say you are 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 panic not
I´ll die 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 to you do
From where i stand is nothing
But a hallow ma I see
Mother Mercy
Angel of death desire
Mother Mercy Taking My last breath of fire
Mother mercy
Angel of Pain
Mother Mercy
Taking my last breath
I´m just a lonely soldier fighting
In a blood 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.
Getting ready to begin again
Wounded lying crying
Bodies moving dying
All around there is the smell
Of death and tire

As of now I´m not feeling so sure
