Eliza Gilkyson - Requiem lyrics

Mother mary, full of grace, awaken All our homes are gone, our loved ones taken Taken by the sea Mother mary, calm our fears, have mercy Drowning in a sea of tears, have mercy Hear our mournful plea Our world has been shaken We wander our homelands forsaken In the dark night of the soul Bring some comfort to us all Oh mother mary come and carry us in your embrace That our sorrows may be faced Mary, fill the gla** to overflowing Illuminate the path where we are going Have mercy on us all In funeral fires burning Each flame to your mystery returning In the dark night of the soul Your shattered dreamers, make them whole Oh mother mary find us where we've fallen out of grace Lead us to a higher place In the dark night of the soul Our broken hearts you can make whole Oh mother mary come and carry us in your embrace Let us see your gentle face, mary
