Friends From A Distance Mary Reads Letters Written In Pain Lyrics

Dust is rising from the ground
And I can't see the sun
Infrared silhouettes of sorrow
Ties that bind the human race
Are about to come undone
What will you think of me tomorrow?

Mary reads letters written in pain

I am on foreign soil
And I'm not having fun
Sometimes the wrong path is followed
Bullets fly, civilians die
Our efforts bring us shame
Promises of peace we bring are hollow

Mary reads letters written in pain
Mary reads letters written in pain

I am flying way up high
The atmosphere is cold
Sometimes I lose my sense of direction
Children watch my after-burn
Their ecstasy complete
When the kingdom I have blown has made them martyrs

Mary reads letters written in pain
Mary reads letters written in pain
