Mother Songtext
von The Computers

The death of my mother
Hit me hard as you might expect
The space left me inconsolable
Although my father would do his best
When I heard him crying
For a love he′d had from the start
Who would hold it against him
Because I knew he'd lost his other heart

The end is near but your end will be first
I think that hell is empty, all the devils are on earth
It′s your choice, you can repent if you please
But do you really think God hears you better on your knees?

So I lost my mother
My sisters lost just as much as me
She won't be there on their wedding days
And there'd be children she′d never see


Oh, I′m afraid of changing
And losing all of those things I've been saving
It′s not too much, all they ask is
For you to burn down your world and then play in the ashes

The end is near but your end will be first
I think that hell is empty, all the devils are on earth
It's your choice, you can repent if you please
But do you really think God hears you better on your knees?

Father, oh father
I know you′re tired of being alone
And father, ooh father
I know you're tired of being on your own
Oh father, ooh father
I′m so tired of being alone
And father, oh father
Let's not assume that we all get what we deserve

The end is near but your end will be first
I think that hell is empty, all the devils are on earth
It's your choice, you can repent if you please
But do you really think God hears you better on your knees?
