Oh Mother

....oh mother....oh mother

   in the past I have shown lack of care, disdain
   caused you nothing` but a life so full of pain.
   so don`t take your total destroying, armageddon revenge
   into your child`s world, a darkness will descend.
   for I was just uneducated,  ignorant and now, I will pay
   in a forever humanity destroying, belligerent way.

....oh mother....oh mother

   I can see your teardrops, slowly fall
   is it because, because of my wrong call.
   so please don`t cry out loud in despair
   for I`ve tried hard, to show that I care.
   so as you cry out in terror and pain
   hear me when I say, I`m sorry for my disdain.


...oh mother....oh mother

   into your realm I have plundered, pillage and maul
   now my actions have burn deep, deep into your soul.
   I was blinded to your world full of hurt and suffering
   now your dark rage is soul shattering, thundering.
   raining down in a humanity destroying, affray 
   all because of my soul destroying, mistreating way.


...oh mother....oh mother

   in the past I have shown lack of care, disdain
   caused you nothing` but a life filled with pain.
   so now I pray, I`m bent down upon bended knee 
   please forgive, hear my, my solemn plead.
   for now I understand your deep, dark plight
   I won`t let again the flame burn so bright.
