Текст

I hear the sound of distant thunder 
Echo all around, 
I see the tragedy of young ones 
Lvina 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 stranser in a strange land... 
The soothing words of politicians,
Those bodyauards of lies, 
While guardian angels waste their time 
And every mother cries... 

Oh, a prayer for the 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 alound, 
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... 

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...
