MOTHER MARY

from SISTERS by TOMB

/

lyrics

mother mary
that child you carry
will pierce your soul
and leave you cold

it’s a dreadful burden
oh, woeful woman
to know your fate
and to live and to wait

blackened storm clouds
thick with fear
on the horizon
gather near

they bring a wave
that will crush you where you stand
a vengeful ocean
grinding you to sand

it drags you under,
beneath the sea
holds you down,
drowns all hope of being free

no one to save you
from the march of time
or the loneliness,
the prison of your mind

mother mary
though your arms are empty
your father sees
and hears your pleas

your heart is aching
your world is shaking
you live an absurdity
as you march toward eternity
