Well I pray in my final hour

For the people who yet must die

For the liars and the robbers

And the cheating crimes

Who tortured the deadly times

Well I've written home to mother

The ink ran from my tears

I said "Momma, momma, oh please.

Tell me why you've brought me here"

Well I'll hang on another minute

But really I have to go [But really I have to know]

If you ever want to see me again

You know what you can do

Well I've written home to mother

The ink ran from my tears

I said "Momma, momma, oh please.

Tell me why you've brought me here"
