Lyrics

Mary at the Gates of Hell (Iraq)

Mary, do you think of me?
Do you pray that I am safe?
Or have you forgotten me?
I've been so long away
If I could find you now
Nothing would be the same
Once the Gates of Hell have opened
They will not close again

As we lie
And we steal
And we take His name in vain
Every night
Every day as we
this Holy War
I feel I've been fighting so long
Don't know what we're fighting for

I have cursed my Mom and Father
For ever having a son
Of God's Holy Commandments
I have broken every one
I took my neighbor's lover
Against the fear and cold
I have heard the Devil laughing
As he gathers in his souls

Mary, when I lie awake at night
I see your face
Staring at me with hopeless Love
And endless Faith
If I should die tomorrow
Fill my empty grave
You're my last hope for salvation
You're the prayer that I'll be saved

As I lie
And I steal
And I take His name in vain
As I fight
And I kill
And burn the Devil's flame
Though I pray
Everyday
For a Peace to end this War
I fear I have fallen so low
God can't hear me anymore

Mary, do you think of me?
Do you pray that I am safe?
