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
