Mother Of Mercy Lyrics

Sitting waiting in the falling rain Getting ready to begin again
Wounded lying crying Bodies moving daying 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
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 cannot think about the things That I have done It shouldn't take a foot 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 that is honesty When all around is death and cruelly
The making of a man is fire Not giving in to our desires Within the truth that 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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/mother-of-mercy-lyrics-iron-maiden.html ] Taking my last breath
Some say you are a lost cause Some say you're a Saint Just being here's an act of sufering and restraint
Walk down the long dark road To ruin 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 hallow 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
I'm just a lonely soldier fighting In a bloody hoples war Don't know what I'm fighting Who it is or what I'm fighting for
Though it was for money Make my fortune now I'm not So sure Seem to just have lost my way
