We're all alone in this world
Nail me to the cross in the darkest alley
I said the Prince of Peace doesn't have to know about it
Say three Hail Marys, turn around, pray about it
Come on, nail me to the cross in the darkest alley
Heartbeats through the dark that spread like a poison
And the tears ran hot like black tar of emotion
Inherit the earth when no words are spoken
And the sky like a veil was our wounds torn open
And as she lie dying in a dark alleyway
Her lips were ruby red
And her eyes were morning green
But she whispered to me
Come closer, come closer
And as I knelt down beside
With her dying breath, she said to me
I'll wait for you forever
And ever, and ever
And ever
Come on, nail me to the cross in the darkest alley
I said the Prince of Peace doesn't have to know about it
Ah, say three Hail Marys, turn around, pray about it
Ah, come on, nail me to the cross in the darkest alley
Heroine
She's my heroine
She said she's my heroine
She's my heroine
And I was crying Hail Mary
God, I scream Hail Mary
On my knees I cry Hail Mary
Oh Lord, I scream Hail Mary
Oh, listen to me Hail
Mary
I just cried Hail
Hail Mary
Mary, Mary Mary
Hail Mary
Marry me, marry me, marry me
