Iron Maiden - Mother Of Mercy

Sitting waiting in the falling rain
Getting ready to begin again
Wounded lying, crying, bodies moving and dying
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 thinks that I have done
It shouldn't take a fool 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 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

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

Some say you are a 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 and 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
Bot 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 fightning
In a bloody hoples war
Don't know what I'm fightning
Who it is or what I'm fightning for

Though it was for money
Make my fortune now I'm not
So sure
Seem to just have lost my way
