Iron Maiden - Mother Of Mercy Lyrics
Sitting, waiting in the falling rainGetting ready to begin againWounded, lying, cryingBodies moving and dyingAll around there is the smellOf 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 us forWhat 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 hourTo comeI cannot think about the thingsThat I have doneIt shouldn't take a fool to seeThat I believeAccept the consequenceRepent for what I've doneYou tell me what is certainBut I'll tell you what is trueYou tell me that is honestyWhen all around is death and crueltyThe making of a man is fireBy giving in to our desiresWithin the truth that liesWithin 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 causeSome say you're a SaintJust being here's an act ofSufering and restraintWalk down the long dark roadTo ruin panic notI'll die a lonely death of thatI'm certain ofRivers flow with bloodThere's nowhere left to hideIt's hard to comprehendThere's anyone left aliveSick of all the killingAnd the reek of deathWill God tell meWhat religion is to manI don't hold with bad religionUnderstand what's underneath itNow I come to think of itI just don't hold at all you know itYou say you are a holy manBut what is it you doFrom where I stand is nothingBut 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 breathI'm just a lonely soldier fightingIn a bloody hopeless warDon't know what I'm fightingWho it is or what I'm fighting forThough it was for moneyMake my fortune now I'm notSo sureSeem to just have lost my way
