Hail Mary
by Confessions of A Traitor, Convictions

Album: This Pain Will Serve You

Intro
Hail Mary, full of Grace
I must reject your embrace

Verse 1
In shadows of stained glass, I knelt to pray
Lost in a world where innocence is the price to pay
The body count rises
All before his eyes
You protect yourself with God's name
With these crooked lies you proclaim
Do you have no shame?

Verse 2
Hail Mary, full of Grace
I must reject your embrace
I loathe guilt you make me feel inside
There's no salvation your prayer provides

Pre-Chorus 1
Hail Mary, full of Grace
These prayer's can not erase
The guilt, the shame, the wounds sustained
There's no salvation from this pain

Chorus
How can I still believe?
With the pain I carry, I don't feel seen
For the guilt I feel
I'm condemned beneath the guillotine
I still believe
With the shame I carry, I don't feel seen
For the hate I feel
My silence lays the path to Hell
Path to hell

Pre-Breakdown
A veil of silence shrouding the crime
My innocence taken, I must speak up this time
I've been abused in the house of God

Breakdown
Abused in the house of God
Don't abandon me, God, it's not my fault

Chorus
How can I still believe?
With the pain I carry, I don't feel seen
For the guilt I feel
I'm condemned beneath the guillotine
I still believe
With the shame I carry, I don't feel seen
For the hate I feel
My silence lays the path to Hell

Bridge
Hail Mary, full of grace
The Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou amongst women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus
Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of our death
Amen

Pre-Chorus 2
Evil has touched my life
A depth of pain none can fathom
With a past none can erase
Are you still my saving grace?

Chorus
How can I still believe?
With the pain I carry, I don't feel seen
For the guilt I feel
I'm condemned beneath the guillotine
I still believe
With the shame I carry, I don't feel seen
For the hate I feel
My silence lays the path to Hell

Outro
Hail Mary, full of Grace
I must reject your embrace
I pray for your sinners now
And at the hour of their death
