Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mother, please forgive them
For they know not what they do
Looking back in history books
It seems it's nothing new
Oh, let my mother live
[Verse 2]
Heaven is for heroes
And Hell is full of fools
Stupidity, no will to live
They're breaking God's own rules
Please let my mother live
[Verse 3]
Father of all creation
I think we're all going wrong
The course they're taking seems to be breaking
And it won't take too long
[Verse 4]
Children of the future
Watching empires fall
Madness, the cup they drink from
Self destruction, the toll
[Verse 5]
I had a vision
I saw the world burn
And the seas had turned red
The sun had fallen
The final curtain
In the land of the dead
[Verse 6]
Mother, please show the children
Before it's too late
To fight each other
There's no one winning
We must fight all the hate
