Mother Lyrics
and the seas have dried.
Your honest ways have turned to lies.
Your hands of promise
turned to hands of pain.
You take for granted the life that God create--
The life that God created.
The frost and flowers
Mother gave to you,
the muffled whispers bleeding true.
And it doesn't matter
what kind of eyes your looking through.
Do you see our Mother's dying?
Here's a picture for you.
I'm gonna paint this picture for you!
and every inch closer to death.
Her hands are held out for you.
we're in hte cities that we all made
was that we raped our poor Mother.
Poor Mother.
Poor Mother.
Now that she's leaving
and she's thrown off all that she gave,
we dig the grave
of our poor Mother!
The grass ain't growing
in my front yard, no.
Poor Mother.
Poor Mother.
Poor Mother.
what a great song, is pure rock, everything u hear it's like the first time
Yeah I agree It really is a great song...
It is very strong song! I think, if they have written down it as it is necessary, it would be left with a hit!
It is very strong song! I think, if they have written down it as it is necessary, it would be left with a hit!
I see this song as about Earth and "mother" nature, and how we arnt taking care of it.
I would quote examples, but if you just read the lyrics with that in mind, theres too many examples of what im saying.
This song is coming hard for me... This first day of 08 and x years after shannons death in 96 comming to terms with his own existance and his world morphing inward. Paint a picture for me Shannon!
