Mother of us all
Place of our birth
ย
How can we stand aside
ย
And watch the rape of the world
ย
This is the beginning of the end
This is the most heinous of crimes
This is the deadliest of sins
ย
There is speculation all time
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
We're all witness to the rape of the world
ย
You've seen her stripped, mined
You've heard of bombs exploded underground
ย
You know the sun shines
Hotter than ever before
Mother of us all
ย
Place of our birth
We're all witness to the rape of the world
ย
Some claim to have crowned her Queen
With cities of concrete and steel
ย
There is no glory no honour
In what results from the rape of the world
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
We're all witness to the rape of the world
ย
She's been clearcut
ย
She's been dumped on
She's been poisoned and beaten up
We've been witness to the rape of the world
ย
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
How can we stand aside
Watch the rape of the world
ย
If you look, you'll see it with your own eyes
If you listen, you'll hear her cries
If you care, you'll stand and testify
Stop the rape of the world
Stop the rape of the world
ย
Mother of us all
ย
Mother of us all
Mother of us all
Mother of us all
Mother of us all
Mother of us all
Mother of us all
Mother of us all
