Mother please forgive them
Dm               A7

Oh let my mother live

Father, of all creation
          B
I think we're all going wrong
            D
The course they're taking

Seems to be breaking
       B
And it won't take too long
D
Children of the future

Watching empires fall

Madness the cup they drink from

Self destruction the toll

      D
I had a vision,
l saw the world burn
     B
And the seas had turned red
        A
The sun had fallen, the final curtain
             B
In the land of the dead
A
Mother, please show the children
B
Before it's too late
A
To fight each other,

There's no-one winning
B
We must fight all the hate
