Whisper A Prayer For The Dying lyrics

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
(Solo)
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
