Sitting, waiting in the falling rain Getting ready to begin again Wounded, lying, crying Bodies moving, dying All around there is the smell of death and fire Here the planes are coming Here 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 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 dusty When all around is death and cruelty And making all of it is fine I'm giving in to all desires Within the truth and lies, within the only thing Mother of mercy, angel of death's 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 Or down a long dark road to ruin, panic not I'll die alone in death, not that I'm certain Rivers flow with blood, there's nowhere left to hide It's hard to comprehend, is anyone left alive? Sick of all the killing and the week 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 out on you know it You say you are a holy man, but what is it you do? But where I stand is nothing but a hollow man I see Mother of mercy, angel of death's desire Mother of mercy, taking my last breath of fire Mother of mercy, angel of pain Mother of mercy, taking my last breath Mother of mercy, angel of death's 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 hopeless war Don't know what I'm fighting for, it is all what I'm fighting for Thought it was the money made my fortune, now I'm not so sure Seem to just have lost my way
