Sister Mary
saidmike Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sister Mary forgive all our sin

All the trouble we've all got in

He's gone too far, can we do this push and rewind

Can we leave this, all this behind
He's gone too far

Conscience, conscience, conscience fails

You're going the wrong way

This is your only way

This is your final war

This is your final war

Many things have entered my ears

Many things i'd rather not hear

But you've gone too far can you stop this

Stop and think twice, desperation pays a big price

But you've gone too far

Stop right now and just think twice





Does your conscience play a part in this?
