Intro
D#m C# G#m
[Verse 1]
D#m C# G#m
Mother, how far did you deviate?
D#m C# G#m
Alone in the dark as you would meditate
D#m C# G#m
Did you conceive of us when in multitude above
B C#
Bearing us forth in labour pains of love?
[Verse 2]
D#m C# G#m
The bridge collapsed but you took the stone
D#m C# G#m
From the ash an altar raised, you rebuilt your home
D#m C# G#m
Hunger for concourse, you brought us to life
B C#
Crawling, standing, running, towards the light
[Chorus 1]
D#m C# B
And though we'll face the spite, of thousands
D#m C# B
And cynics they will try, to tempt and change our minds
C# B
We'll keep our faith alive, we'll raise our voices
C#
And scream it from our hearts: God loves her children
[Instrumental]
D#m C# G#m
[Verse 3]
D#m C# G#m
Blinded in the conclave we offer our trust
D#m C# G#m
Shaking and bound in the angel lust
D#m C# G#m
Our mouths are open, we wait to receive
B C#
C# sign and the scraps of truth of what we believe
[Chorus 2]
D#m C# B
And though we'll face the spite, of thousands
D#m C# B
Nonbelievers they will try, to tempt and change our minds
C# B
We'll keep our faith alive, we'll raise our voices
C#
And scream it from our hearts: God loves her children
[Instrumental]
D#m C# G#m
D#m C# G#m
[Chorus 3]
D#m C# B
And though we'll face the spite, of thousands
D#m C# B
And cynics they will try, to tempt and change our minds
C# B
We know we'll never die alone and frightened
C# B
Just closer to the last communion without her
C# B
We'll keep our faith alive, we'll raise our voices
C#
And scream it from our hearts: God loves her children
[Bridge]
D#m C# G#m
The passion, the pain, our bodies ache, we cry your name
D#m C# G#m
The passion, the pain, our bodies ache, we cry your name
D#m C# G#m
The passion, the pain, our bodies ache, we cry your name
D#m C# G#m
The passion, the pain
