 Oh mother, oh father in our time of fear
Grant us the wisdom your message for to hear
Send down your angel band to fill our hearts with power
Oh mother, oh father in our darkest hour
Ignorance is the enemy and it fills your head with lies
It's the kind of bliss that can make you miss the very truth before your eyes
It's not who's right or wrong, weak or strong, black or white you see
Ignorance is the enemy and it's keeping you from me
Forgive me all my pettiness, forgive me all my greed
Forgive me for I know not how to live this life I lead
Ignorance is the enemy, let's set the record straight
If history must repeat itself, why worry why you wait
It's a perfect blue and beautiful world you treat with such disdain
Ignorance is the enemy and it can only bring you pain
Forgive me all my vanity, forgive me my conceit
Forgive me when I'm crawling like a beggar at your feet
Ignorance is the enemy and it wields a mighty sword
It can cut you down in a blaze of glory, it can nail you to a board
If mercy and compassion only had a chance
It could fill these holes we've dug
But ignorance is the enemy and it's working like a drug
Oh mother, oh father in our time of fear
Grant us the wisdom your message for to hear
Send down your angel band to fill our hearts with power
Oh mother, oh father in our darkest hour
