From the recording ARRIVAL
Lyrics
Mother
Verse 1:
Mother, I am a killer
I shot my brother down
I wanna say I did it for the struggle
But I took his life as he lay in the night
Pre:
So as the green grass grows brown
And war grows all around
Chorus:
You disappear from me mama
It should come as no surprise
I have become my mother’s enemy
It’s me, it’s me
Verse 2:
Mother I am a killer
I turned the blue skies to black
I wanna say I didn’t see the sky burning bright
But I poured the gas, I lit the light
Pre and Chorus
Bridge:
Mother you laid the green grass
So I could walk around
Mother you painted skies of blue
So I could see true
Let the sun shine through
Turn the black sky blue
Forgive me like you always do
Chorus X 2
