[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Sitting, waiting in the falling rain
Getting ready to begin again
Wounded, lying,
crying bodies mov[Dm]ing, dying
[Am]All around there is the smell
of death and fire
Here the planes are coming
Hear the soldiers running

[Verse 2]
Killing on a scale to comprehend
[F]Why [Dm]are we here?[Esus4][E]
In this [F]place, [Dm]here to kill[E]
[F]Please [Dm]God, forgive [Esus4]us[E]
for [C]what we [Dm]have [Esus4]done[E]

[Verse 3]
[Am]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

[Interlude 1]
I'm a soldier of war
[Am][Dm][Am][C][G]
[Am][C][Dm][Am][Em][Am][C]
[G]

[Verse 4]
[Am]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]
[F]You tell me what is cer[Dm]tain but I'll
[E]tell you what is true
[F]You tell me what is [Dm]honesty when
[E]all around is death and cruelty
[F]I'm making out[Dm], my mind is vil[E]e,
I'm giving in [C]to [Dm]our desires
[E]Within [Esus4]the truth that lies
with[E]in the only thing

[Verse 6]
[Am]Mother of mercy, angel of death desire
Mother of mercy taking my
last [Bb]breath of [Am]fire
Mother of mercy, angel of pain
Mother of mercy taking
my last [Bb]breath[Am]

[Verse 7]
[Dm]Some say you are a lost cause,
some say you're a saint
[Bb]Just being here's and act
of suffering [Dm]and restraint
Walked down a long dark road
to ruin and panic [Bb]not
I'll die a lonely death, of that I'm certain [E]of[Em][E][Em]
[E][C]

[Interlude 2]
[Dm][E]
[C][Am]
[C][Am][E][Am][C][G][Am]
[G][Am]

[Verse 8]
Rivers flow with blood, [Am]there's
nowhere left to hide
It's hard to comprehend
there's [C]anyone left [Am]alive
Sick of all the killing and the reek of death
Will God tell me what
religion is to [G]man?[Am]

[Verse 9]
[F]I don't hold with b[Dm]ad religion,
[E]un derstand what's underneath [Em]it
[F]Now I come [Dm]to think of it,
I [E]just don't hold at all, you know it
[F]You say you[Dm] are a holy man[E]
but what is it [C]you do?
[Dm]From where[Esus4] I stand there's nothing
but a hol[E]low man I see

[Verse 10]
[Am]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 [Bb]breath[Am]

[Verse 11]
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

[Bb][Am]

[Verse 12]
I'm just a lonely soldier [Am]fighting in
[Bb]a bloody hope[Am]less war
Don't know what I'm fighting, who it is,
or what I'm fight[Am]ing for
Thought it was for money, made my fortune,
now I'm not [Am]so sure
Seemed to just have lost my [Am]way
