Queensryche - Suite Sister Mary Lyrics
[ spoken ] dr. x: kill her. thats all you have to do.Nikki: kill mary?Dr. x: shes a risk, and get the priest as well.10 p.m., I feel the rain coming downMy face feels the wet, my mind the stormFlashing lights as people race to find shelter from the pourMoving silent, through the streets, theyre mine, theyre mineMidnite, she sings praises in the hallTo saintly faces hallowed be their names she cant recallSister mary, virgin mary, silent with her sin[ mary: what are you doing out in the rain? ]She feels me, I can taste her breath when she speaks[ mary: Ive been waiting for you. come in. ]Mary, mary just a whore for the undergroundThey made you pay in guilt for your salvationThought you had them fooled? now theyve sent me for youYou know too much for your own goodDont offer me faith, Ive got all I need hereMy faith is growing, growing tight against the seamWhat we need is trust, to keep us both aliveHelp us make it through the night[ mary ]Ive no more want of any faithBinds my arm and feed my mindThe only peace Ive ever knownIll close my eyes and you shootNo mary, listen, youve got to pull your strength from my lipsI pray I feed you wellYour precious cross is gone, it made me wait so longFor what you gave to everyoneThe priest is cold and dead on his knees he fedFrom my barrel of death, he turned the holy water redAs he died he said thank youI just watched him bleed[ mary ]I feel the flow, the blessed stainSweating hands like fire, and flamesBurn my thighs, spread in sacrificial riteThe hallowed altar burns my flesh once more tonightMary, sweet lady of painAlways aloneBlind you search for the truthI see myself in you, parallel livesWinding at light-speed through timeNo time to rest yetWeve got to stop his gameBefore madness has the final laughToo much bloodshedWere being used and fedLike rats in experimentsNo final outcome hereOnly pain and fearIts followed us both all our livesTheres one thing left to seeWill it be him or me?Theres one more candle left to light[ mary ]Dont turn your back on my disgraceThe blood of christ cant heal my wounds...so deepThe sins of man are all I tasteCant spit the memory from my mindI cant cry anymoreMary, my lady of pain, always aloneBlind you search for the truthI see myself in you, parallel livesWinding at light-speed through time, youre mine
