Part IV

See Mary on the Streets of Shame
looking for the Christian Prescription
turning tricks with her crucifix
line by line to find her faith
watch her die a little each day.

Mother Mary's got a synthetic womb,
holds the key to all Creation
the Patron Saint knows a man
with Rusty Nails to make her bleed.

What have you done?

The mirrors' cracked, the White Lady gone
take a pill to numb her pain
Razor blade Mary's last Temptation.
