Mother Of Mercy Lyrics - The Final Frontier - Iron Maiden

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. 

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 of all 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 honesty 

when all around is death 

and cruelty.

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 

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, 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 hollow 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 hopeless war. 

Don't know what I'm fighting 

who it is, or what I'm fighting for. 

Thought it was for money 

make my fortune, now I'm not 

so sure. 

Seem to just have lost my way.
