- The Rape Of The World Lyrics / with translationsMother of us all Place of our birth How can we stand aside and watch
this rape of the world This is the beginning of the end This is the most
heinous of crimes This is the deadliest of sins The greatest violation
of all time Mother of us all Place of our birth We all are witness to
the rape of the world You've seen her strip mined You've heard of bombs
exploded underground You know the sun shines hotter than ever before
Mother of us all Place of our birth We all are witness to the rape of
the world Some claimed to have crowned her a queen with cities of
concrete and steel But there is no glory no honor In what results from the rape of the world Mother of us all Place of our birth We all are
witness to the rape of the world She has been clear-cut She has been
dumped on She has been poisoned and beaten up And we have been witness
to the rape of the worldMother of us all Place of our birth How can we
stand aside and watch the rape of the world If you look you'll see it
with your own eyes If you listen you will hear her cries If you care you
will stand and testify And stop the rape of the world Stop the rape of
the world Mother of us all Mother of us all Mother of us all Mother of
us all...
