Lyrics
Watching your body move with the ocean
The sea of fire shifts in perpetual motion
The time has come, judgment, evaluation
Atheists the scientists with failed equations

This final trial, the whole word a witness
Many shudder, and many beg forgiveness
The ultimate judge, giving each their verdict
Speechless, the rejected unable to word it

Mary, mother of mercy
The ground won’t hold before our eyes
You know that I’d like to get away
To a day before our time
Mary, sans merci
Show your famous love or lie
Help me get to a higher place
I’d like to live before I die

Murderers, gasping for air, are helpless
Peacekeepers, knowing what’s fair, are selfless
Not ignored, sinning animals too pay their price
For cruelty is everywhere, and men are none but mice

The wars, the hate, the crimes of the country
Former soldiers wishing we’d all lived under one tree
The regret sitting in their mistakenly lethal hearts
Searing memories of a million body parts

Mary, mother of mercy
The ground won’t hold before our eyes
You know that I’d like to get away
To a day before our time
Mary, sans merci
Show your famous love or lie
Help me get to a higher place
I’d like to live before I die

Mary, mother of mercy
The ground won’t hold before our eyes
You know that I’d like to get away
To a day before our time
Mary, sans merci
Show your famous love or lie
Help me get to a higher place
I’d like to live before I die
