Lyrics Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden

Mother of Mercy

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 though 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 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 tel 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
