mother of mercy
Singer:iron maiden
sitting waiting in the falling rain
getting ready to begin again
all around there is the smell of death and fire
here the planes are coming
hear the soldiers running
killing on a scale to comprehend
in this place.here to kill
please god forgive us for
i always thought i was doing right
as of now i'm not feeling so sure
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
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
taking my last breath of fire
some say you are a lost cause
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
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
from where i stand is nothing but a hollow man i see
taking my last breath of fire
taking my last breath of fire
i'm just a lonely soldier fighting in a bloody hopeless war
don't know what i'm fighting
seem to just have lost my way
