Suite Sister Mary lyrics

Artist  : Queensryche 
Song : Suite Sister Mary
 


[ SPOKEN ] 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
[ Mary: "What are you doing out in the
rain?" ]
She feels me, I can taste her breath
when she speaks
[ Mary: "I've been waiting for
you. Come in." ]

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

[ Mary ]
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

[ Mary ]
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

[ Mary ]
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
