MOTHER

Lyrics

[Chorus 1] I've got Mary on my shoulder Her hand on my back I'm a storm coming in I'm the skies turning black Mother, please forgive me I don't want to let it go There's darkness in the hallway And my eyes are filled with smoke [Refrain] But I shall not suffer a holy man's crusade [Chorus 2] Heaven averts its gaze As I walk through the doors His eyes have abandoned This child all alone Gather to the circle As we lay our hands together His tongue is licked in fire As he throws thе very first stone [Refrain] And I shall not suffer a holy man's crusadе But I shall not suffer a holy man's crusade [Chorus 1] I've got Mary on my shoulder Her hand on my back I'm a storm coming in I'm the skies turning black Mother, please forgive me I don't want to let it go There's darkness in the hallway And my eyes are filled with smoke [Refrain] But I shall not suffer a holy man's crusade [Chorus 2] Heaven averts its gaze As I walk through the doors (through the doors) His eyes have abandoned This child all alone (all alone) Gather to the circle As we lay our hands together His tongue is licked in fire As he throws the very first stone (very first stone) [Refrain] But I shall not suffer a holy man's crusade But I shall not suffer a holy man's crusade [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Mother, mother, mother, mother Mother, mother, mother, mother Mother, mother, mother, mother Mother, mother, mother, mother Mother, mother, mother, mother Mother, mother, mother, mother Mother, mother, mother, mother
