Intro 1
(A minor)
Verse 1
Sitting, (A minor) waiting in the falling rain
Getting ready to begin again
Wounded, lying,
crying bodies mov (D minor) ing, dying

of death and fire
Here the planes are coming
Hear the soldiers running

Killing on a scale to comprehend
(F major) Why (D minor) are we (Esus4) here? (E major)
In this (F major) place, (D minor) here to kill (E major)
Please (F major) (D minor) God, forgive (Esus4) us (E major)
for (C major) what we (D minor) have (Esus4) done (E major)
Verse 3
(A minor) 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

Verse 4
(A minor) I sit waiting for my darkest
hour to come
I cannot think of 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
Verse 5
You tell (F major) me what is cer (D minor) tain but I'll
tell (E major) you what is true
You tell (F major) me what is (D minor) honesty when
(E major) all around is death and cruelty
(F major) I'm making (D minor) out, my mind is vile, (E major)
I'm giving in (C major) to (D minor) our desires
(E major) With (Esus4) in the truth that lies
with (E major) in the only thing

Mother of mercy, angel of pain
Mother of mercy taking
my last breath (B flat major) (A minor)
Verse 7
(D minor) Some say you are a lost cause,
some say you're a saint
(B flat major) Just being here's and act
of suffering and restraint (D minor)
Walked down a long dark road
to ruin and panic not (B flat major)
I'll die a lonely death, of that I'm certain of (E major) (E minor) (E major) (E minor)

Verse 8
Rivers flow with blood, there's (A minor)
nowhere left to hide
It's hard to comprehend
there's (C major) anyone left alive (A minor)
Sick of all the killing and the reek of death
Will God tell me what
religion is to man? (G major) (A minor)
Verse 9
(F major) I don't hold with (D minor) bad religion,
(E major) un derstand what's underneath (E minor) it
Now (F major) I come to think (D minor) of it,
I just (E major) don't hold at all, you know it
(F major) You say you are (D minor) a holy man (E major)
but what is it (C major) you do?
(D minor) From (Esus4) where I stand there's nothing
but a hol (E major) low man I see
Verse 10

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 drawing my last

I'm just a lonely soldier (A minor) fighting in
a bloody (B flat major) hope (A minor) less war
Don't know what I'm fighting, who it is,
or what I'm fight (A minor) ing for
Thought it was for money, made my fortune,
now I'm not (A minor) so sure
Seemed to just have lost my way (A minor)
