O Mary, if you knew
All the harm done to me
O Mary, if only I could have
In your naked arms
Remained ensconced
My innocence has faded away
You were for me the last chance
Little by little you drifted away
Despite my desperate efforts
And nothing will ever be the same
I have seen more of horrors than wonders
Men have gone mad tied to a woman
I would give anything to forget
O Mary, if you knew
All the harm done to me
O Mary, if only I could have
In your naked arms
Remained ensconced
And I run all day
Not knowing where I go
In the noise in the smoke
I see shadows kill one another
Tomorrow will be the great day
One will have to demonstrate bravery
To reach the front of the first line
Oh Marie, I beg you, show me a sign
Lying in the grass, I awake
I saw death in her birthday suit
She promised me a vacation
Yes death promised me her last dance
Oh Marie, if you knew
All the harm done to me
Oh Marie, I will wait
Until in heaven you come
To find me
Oh Marie, I will wait
Until in heaven you come
To find me
