We ask our lord today “We ask our lord today” To forgive those we lost “To forgive those we lost” Why? Why ask forgiveness For those who sought to destroy Render our world fictitious Burned our world like Troy They promised us utopia Left us with dystopia Burning rage sparks our collective will Render unto the gallant dead They merrily rushed to the battlefield We ask our lord today “We ask our lord today” To forgive the sins of the unborn “To forgive the sins of the unborn” Help! Help those in need Will our children see the deed? Passed on to us by virtue Now we pass it on to you Bone heaps and dallied dead Fragrance spoilt roses Left for a faceless grave Dystopian hellscape We ask our lord today “We ask our lord today” To guide our hands from strife “To guide our hands from strife” Prevent us from repeating What our ancestors failed preventing

Prayer for the gallant dead
We ask our lord today “We ask our lord today” To forgive those we lost “To forgive those we lost” Why? Why ask forgiveness For those who sought to destroy Render our world fictitious Burned our world like Troy They promised us utopia Left us with dystopia Burning rage sparks our collective will Render unto the gallant dead They merrily rushed to the battlefield We ask our lord today “We ask our lord today” To forgive the sins of the unborn “To forgive the sins of the unborn” Help! Help those in need Will our children see the deed? Passed on to us by virtue Now we pass it on to you Bone heaps and dallied dead Fragrance spoilt roses Left for a faceless grave Dystopian hellscape We ask our lord today “We ask our lord today” To guide our hands from strife “To guide our hands from strife” Prevent us from repeating What our ancestors failed preventing
