Maria

Save me, save me, save me Maria             

Salva me, salva me, madre Maria...

They came like demons, in the night, I remember shake, shake, shaking with fright

Village burning, bullets flying, mother screaming run, run, run...

Save me, save me, save me Maria             

Salva me, salva me, madre Maria...

Now I'm a man, full of hate, revenge is what I live for every day

Wasted youth, an empty shell, my sacrifice will send them back to hell

Save me, save me, save me Maria             

Salva me, salva me, madre Maria...Maria

Like my father, and fathers before

I was born into war

Do not question my part in it all

Sometimes the righteous, sometimes the righteous, sometimes the righteous....must fall

End it now, end it here, loose the grip of dominance and fear

Step inside, the Devils' den, pull the cord and break this chain of sin

Save me, save me, save me Maria             

Salva me, salva me, madre Maria... 

Save me, save me, save me Maria             

Salva me, salva me, madre Maria...Maria...Maria...

SILVER LINING (new and unreleased)

There's a silver lining, behind every thunder cloud,

Above the sun is shining, but we can't see it from the ground,

Hard times will come, just as sure as winter rain,

For every day of pleasure, is paid with a little pain.

If you believe in better days, If you believe in better days,

If you believe...there's a Silver Lining.

We take pride in stuff we've made, we shed tears for junk we've lost,

Confusing want, with what we need, then we complain about the cost,

We know that every coming moment, will be a moment that is gone,

What we choose to do, with the time that's left, can blow those clouds apart.

If you believe in better days, If you believe in better days,

If you believe...there's a Silver Lining.

There's a silver lining, behind every thunder cloud,

Above the sun is shining, but we can't see it from the ground...

If you believe in better days, If you believe in better days (repeat)

If you believe...there's a Silver Lining.
