From the recording His Mother
His Mother, written by Shirley Callaghan and produced by Paul Statham, is about Ukraine and Gaza, it's about mother's trying to flee their countries with their children, inspired by those women who lost their sons and children in the war, and for all mothers having to endure pain and grief.
Lyrics
Daylight
Sunrise
Overshadowed
In these red skies
Mothers
Hide their daughters
Crossing borders
Seeking shelter
From satan's dance
Children crying
With their mothers
Black smoke rising
Close to smothering them
He brought hell tonight
In this firelight
Show mercy man
If for just one time
He could change his mind
Show mercy man
She calls his name
His mother
In a war of shameful power
They show no mercy
No mercy
It don't show
Oh they show no mercy
No mercy
It don't show
Twisted mindsets
Broken soldiers
Burning bodies
For enjoyment
Like drunken men
Are they human?
Are they heavy?
In the mansion
Of the masters
Of satan's dance
With this reign of war
Falling on these shores
Show mercy man
We see mother's sons
With nowhere to run
Show mercy man
They show no mercy
No mercy
It don't show
She calls his name
His mother
In a war of shameful power
It blacks out the sun
His mother
War lipstick on
His mother
His lover
His children
His father
His mother
His mother
