Whisper A Prayer For The Dying

I hear the sound of distant thunder, echo all around

I see the tragedy of young ones lying on the ground

I see the fathers´ sons and daughters, I hear the mothers crying

Nothing left for me to do, but, whisper a prayer for the dying

Oh, a prayer for the dying

The suffocating heat of jungles, and burning desert sands

Where everything reminds you, you´re a stranger in a strange land

The soothing words of politicians, those bodyguards of lies

While guardian angels waste their time and every mother cries

Oh, a prayer for the dying, dying, dying

Machine gun, battle cry, you pray to God when the bullets fly

The bombs fall like black rain, an' all your dreams take you home again

Nothing but bad dreams

You can´t read, you can´t write

You´re so scared, you can´t sleep at night

You try to carry the heavy load

Walking down Armageddon road

Oh, Armageddon road

I hear the sound of distant thunder, echo all around

I see the tragedy of young ones lying on the ground

I see the fathers´ sons and daughters, I hear the mothers crying

Nothing left for me to do, but, whisper a prayer for the dying

Oh, a prayer for the dying, dying

Oh, a prayer for the dying, baby, baby

Oh, a prayer for the dying, dying

Whisper a prayer for the dying

You can´t run, you can´t hide

You can´t show what you feel inside

You´re going crazy, going insane

You know you´ll never be the same again, no, no

Whisper a prayer for the dying, dying, dying, dying, dying, no, no

Armageddon road, Armageddon road

I´m walking down Armageddon road
