White as the snow in darkest December
Blinding the world, lighting the night
They climb the stone, reaching for heaven

Fools carry words tangled like vines

Mary was gone, Mary was gone

Mary was gone, Mary was gone
Mary was gone, Mary was gone


From long and far, they come to bear witness
Sleeping in streets, standing on high
Seeking the truth in the tunnel of secrets

Five hundred faces, a thousand blinded eyes
Salvation lost in pure golden image


Mary was gone, Mary was gone
Sinners move on, searching beyond
Saints looking on, Mary was gone


[Mary was gone, Mary was gone, Mary was gone, Mary was gone...]


White as the snow in darkest December
Blinding the world, lighting the night
They climb the stone, reaching for heaven

Five hundred faces, a thousand blinded eyes
Salvation lost in pure golden image


Mary was gone, Mary was gone
Sinners move on, Mary was gone
Sinners move on

Mary was gone, Mary was gone
Sinners move on, searching beyond
Saints looking on, Mary was gone
