MOTHER

I've got Mary on my shoulder
Her hand on my back
I'm a storm comin' 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
But I shall not suffer a holy man's crusade

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
And I shall not suffer a holy man's crusade
But I shall not suffer a holy man's crusade

As I walk through the doors (through the doors)
His eyes have abandoned
This child all alone (all alone)

As he throws the very first stone (very first stone)
But I shall not suffer a holy man's crusade
