Hear - us - pray.
Over oceans, seas, and rivers,
over all that we survey,
we search for one who's listening, no reply.

Hear - us - pray.
As the fire burns below us,
as darkness fills the light,
his seven famous daughters, turn to make a fight.

Hear - us - pray.
Sisters slay your brothers,
mothers slay your sons,
heaven isn't waiting anymore.
The seasons never changing,
through every single day,
like martyrs in the city, like dogs we'll have our day.

Hear - us - pray.
Sisters slay your brothers,
mothers slay your sons,
heaven isn't waiting anymore.

Hear us pray.
Sisters slay your brothers,
mothers slay your sons,
heaven isn't waiting anymore.

Hear us pray.
Sisters slay your brothers,
mothers slay your sons,
heaven isn't waiting anymore.

    My InterpretationThe meaning of this song is vaguely obscure, but this song was released as a B-side in 1985. It mentions a few things like martyrs in the city and 'the 7 daughters turning to fight', which sound fairly interesting considering the time period.

    I feel like martyrs in the city could possibly be a reference to the Middle Eastern wars of the decade (Iran) and the '7 daughters turning to fight' is an obscure cold war reference, presumably talking about 7 countries turning to fight one common enemy.

    Otherwise, I have no idea what this song is about. The word 'Firegun' is made up. a combination of 'Fire Gun', and the song references sisters slaying brothers and mothers slaying sons, which don't really add up.
