ANGEL MERCY MOTHER MAYHEM

ANGELS CRY
AND WATCH THE WAR
CRYSTAL TEARS FALL
TO THE FLOOR
FEATHERED WINGS
AND GOD'S OWN HAND
ARE SCATHED BY FIRE
JUST LIKE THE LAND

MAN'S MACHINE
OF DOUBLE THREAT
HAS NOT FOUND
A WINNER YET
GROANS LIKE
TORTURED CATTLE SOUND
COUNTS EACH LOSS
AND LOSES GROUND

ANCIENT MYSTIC
MOOD SADISTIC
WE COULD STOP IT
IF WE'D RISK IT
KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT
NEVER SAYING
THOUGHTS THAT DEEP
INSIDE YOU'RE PRAYING

ANGEL MERCY
MOTHER MAYHEM
INSIDE OUT
MY OTHER STRAY HAND
DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT IT IS HOLDING
HEARS ITSELF
ANOTHER SCOLDING

SOMEWHERE SOMEHOW
FIND THE GUMPTION
STOP THE MECHANISMS
FUNCTION
HERE I AM
BUT HERE WHAT FOR
TO STOP THE GODDAMNED
FUCKING WAR
