Mother Of Mercy

Sitting waiting in the falling rainGetting ready to begin againWounded lying, crying, bodies moving and dyingAll around there is the smell of death and fireHere the planes are comingHear the soldiers runningKilling on a scale to comprehendWhy are we hereIn this place...here to killPlease God forgive usFor what we have doneI always thought I was doing rightAs of now I'm not feeling so sureI'm at a place of whereI give no graceI'm a soldier of warI sit waiting for my darkest hour to comeI cannot think about the thingsThat I have doneIt shouldn't take a fool to see that I believeAccept the consequence, repent for what I've doneYou 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 thingMother of MercyAngel of death desireMother of mercyTaking my last breath, of fireMother of mercyAngel of painMother of mercyTaking my last breathSome 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 ofThat I'm certain ofRivers 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 seeMother of MercyAngel of death desireMother of mercyTaking my last breath, of fireMother of mercyAngel of painMother of mercyTaking my last breathMother of MercyAngel of death desireMother of mercyTaking my last breath, of fireMother of mercyAngel of painMother of mercyDrawing my last breathI'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 wayCrédito: Hellequin
