Coverdale Page - Whisper A Prayer For The Dying lyrics

rate me

I hear the sound of distant thunder, echo all around<br />

I see the tragedy of young ones lying on the ground<br />

I see the fathers' sons and daughters, I hear the mothers crying<br />

Nothing left for me to do, but whisper a prayer for the dying<br />

Oh, a prayer for the dying<br />

The suffocating heat of jungles, and burning desert sands<br />

Where everything reminds you, you're a stranger in a strange land<br />

The soothing words of politicians, those bodyguards of lies<br />

While guardian angels waste their time and every mother cries<br />

Oh, a prayer for the dying, dying, dying<br />

Machine gun, battle cry, you pray to God when the bullets fly<br />

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

Nothing but bad dreams<br />

You can't read, you can't write, you're so scared, you can't sleep at night<br />

You try to carry the heavy load, walking down Armageddon road<br />

Oh Armageddon road<br />

(Solo)<br />

I hear the sound of distant thunder, echo all around<br />

I see the tragedy of young ones lying on the ground<br />

I see the fathers' sons and daughters, I hear the mothers crying<br />

Nothing left for me to do, but whisper a prayer for the dying<br />

Oh, a prayer for the dying, dying<br />

Oh, a prayer for the dying, baby, baby<br />

Oh, a prayer for the dying, dying, whisper a prayer for the dying<br />

You can't run, you can't hide, you can't show what you feel inside<br />

You're going crazy, going insane, you know you'll never be the same again<br />

No, no<br />

Whisper a prayer for the dying, dying, dying, dying, dying, no, no<br />

Armageddon road, Armageddon road, I'm walking down Armageddon road<br />
