Mary - Birdeatsbaby

Hail Mary full of grace

The Lord has put you in your place

Put you where no-one can reach

No hands to touch or words to speak

Have you had your fill of misery?

For the light it falls so far from me

But it’s my sin, there is no shame

I close my eyes, I see the flames

Hail Mary of the earth

They promised you a virgin birth

They take your name and they conspire

To burn you with their holy fire

But if you lead so many to believe

Their death is not a mystery

They’ll bring their arms and bring their guns

For the Lord he speaks but not in tongues

We’re fighting for the rest of us

This sacrifice is not enough

To justify our history

Oh Mary, please come home to me

Hail Mary in your arms

The ashes of a fallen star

You only have to break the spine

For the Lord is good, and he is kind

Have you had your fill of righteousness?

For the light it falls so far from us

If we can’t stop the acts of man

To save ourselves then no-one can

We’re fighting for the rest of us

This sacrifice is not enough

To justify our history

Oh Mary, please come home to me
