The Underneath Marie lyrics

Do you hear the angels crying
Pure white wings at the bottom of the gutter
Feeding on the remains is the crow at midnight
Keep searching for the love my loneliness left behind

The way it burns so red
Lying there deep in the dirt so red

I walk the tightrope of despair in total darkness
A tattoo on my breast of a black winged Maria
A piece of glass that pierced my bare foot
Reaches my soul like a stabbing knife

Like a ripe pomegranate

Will you spill red blood all over my heart

My short lived prayers won't reach you Marie
Please hold my trembling body
While you blink in the moonlight
Freeze everything keep it locked away

Did you see the cross
Deep within the thorny bush that escaped the cave

Please forgive my sins Marie
