Requiem

mother mary, full of grace, awaken
 all our homes are gone, our loved ones taken
 taken by the sea
 mother mary, calm our fears, have mercy
 drowning in a sea of tears, have mercy
 hear our mournful plea
 our world has been shaken
 we wander our homelands forsaken
 in the dark night of the soul
 bring some comfort to us all
 oh mother mary come and carry us in your embrace
 that our sorrows may be faced
 mary, fill the glass to overflowing
 illuminate the path where we are going
 have mercy on us all
 in funeral fires burning
 each flame to your mystery returning
 in the dark night of the soul
 your shattered dreamers, make them whole,
 oh mother mary find us where we've fallen out of grace
 lead us to a higher place
 in the dark night of the soul
 our broken hearts you can make whole
 oh mother mary come and carry us in your embrace
 let us see your gentle face, mary
