Mother please forgive them For they know not what they do Looking back in history's books It seems it's nothing new Oh, let my mother live 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 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 Children of the future
Watching empires fall Madness, the cup they drink from Self-destruction the toll I had a vision, I saw the world burn And the seas had turned red (the seas turned red) The sun had fallen, the final curtain In the land of the dead (the land of dead) Mother, please show the children Before it's too late (too late, too late) To fight each other There's no one winning We must fight all the hate (fight all the hate)
