(she's) the mother of tears

Mother

Hail to the Queen of rare delights
Malefic and tragic
Are the strings of her magic
Screaming through the night
She is sex and death and more
The scent of evil in the glittering city
A virgin and a whore
For the horns of blasphemy

She's Our Mother Of Tears
The howling on the wind
She's the lover of all our fears
Mater Lacrimarum

Mother

Hail to the Goddess of the storm
Dancing on the abyss
In a blaze of light
A darkened star reborn
When the moon hangs in the sky
Sabbatical and fatter than the blood red sunset
Know the reason why
The heavens burned today

She's our Mother Of Tears
The howling on the wind
She's the Mother Of Tears
The more in mortal sin
She's Our Mother Of Tears
Chaos in the cosmos
She's the lover of all our fears
Mater Lacrimarum

Mother
