You talk in tongues I never fucking understand

All of the victims we betray, I hear you crying

Out as you sit and bleed

Under the spell of our mistakes

Do you wanna know the way I feel about the world today?

There's not enough infernal words I know to say.

So sing ave maria for the shame

Whoa...

So sing ave maria, heal the pain

Whoa...

I yearn for all the years you held my helping hand

I know I'll never understand the way you're dying

Now I can hear your screams

And pray to hell I could redeem.

So sing ave maria for the shame

Whoa...

So sing ave maria, heal the pain

Whoa...

So now you hate me, don't want to save me

And after all I've done, you moved on.

All of the victims we betray, I hear you crying

Now I can hear your screams

And pray to hell I could redeem.

You want your voice, for power you will die

But what's divine, we don't decide.

So sing ave maria for the shame

Whoa...

So sing ave maria, heal the pain

Whoa...

You still wonder why all my empathy died

Used my kindness, then you threw me down

You still expect the fire to burn

Never noticed that you put it out.
