Holy Mother, hear my cry I've cursed your name a thousand times {chords as verse I} I've felt the anger running through my soul All I need is a hand to hold Oh I feel the end is coming No longer my legs will run {chords as verse II} You know how to wrap me In your arms tonight When my hands can no longer play My voice is still a fade away {chords as verse I} Holy Mother, then I'll be lying in, safe within your arms.
