Lyrics

Dr. X: "Kill her. That's all you have to do."
 Nikki: "Kill Mary?"
 Dr. X: "She's a risk, and get the priest as well."
 10 P.M., I feel the rain coming down
 My face feels the wet, my mind the storm
 Flashing lights as people race to find shelter from the pour
 Moving silent, through the streets, they're mine, they're mine
 Midnite, she sings praises in the Hall
 To saintly faces hallowed be their names she can't recall
 Sister Mary, virgin Mary, silent with her sin
 She feels me, I can taste her breath when she speaks
 Mary, Mary just a whore for the underground
 They made you pay in guilt for your salvation
 Thought you had them fooled? Now they've sent me for you
 You know too much for your own good
 Don't offer me faith, I've got all I need here
 My faith is growing, growing tight against the seam
 What we need is trust, to keep us both alive
 Help us make it through the night
 I've no more want of any faith
 Binds my arm and feed my mind
 The only peace I've ever known
 I'll close my eyes and you shoot
 No Mary, listen, you've got to pull your strength from my lips
 I pray I feed you well
 Your precious cross is gone, it made me wait so long
 For what you gave to everyone
 The priest is cold and dead on his knees he fed
 From my barrel of death, he turned the Holy water red
 As he died he said thank you
 I just watched him bleed
 I feel the flow, the blessed stain
 Sweating hands like fire, and flames
 Burn my thighs, spread in sacrificial rite
 The hallowed altar burns my flesh once more tonight
 Mary, sweet lady of pain
 Always alone
 Blind you search for the truth
 I see myself in you, parallel lives
 Winding at light-speed through time
 No time to rest yet
 We've got to stop his game
 Before madness has the final laugh
 Too much bloodshed
 We're being used and fed
 Like rats in experiments
 No final outcome here
 Only pain and fear
 It's followed us both all our lives
 There's one thing left to see
 Will it be him or me?
 There's one more candle left to light
 Don't turn your back on my disgrace
 The blood of Christ can't heal my wounds... so deep
 The sins of man are all I taste
 Can't spit the memory from my mind
 I can't cry anymore
 Mary, my lady of pain, always alone
 Blind you search for the truth
 I see myself in you, parallel lives
 Winding at light-speed through time, you're mine
