Lyrics

Firegun

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 any more

Through seasons never changing

Through every single day

Like martyrs in the cities

Like dogs, we'll have our day

Hear us pray

Sisters, slay your brothers

Mothers, slay your sons

Heaven isn't waiting any more

Hear us pray

Sisters, slay your brothers

Mothers, slay your sons

Heaven isn't waiting any more

Hear us pray

Sisters, slay your brothers

Mothers, slay your sons

Heaven isn't waiting any more
