[Verse 1]
All I know
Is marble and stone
Eyes that don't leave
Watching over me
Whispers in "Ave Marias" and "Grant us peace"

[Refrain]
Dona nobis pacem
Miserere nobis
God have mercy on them
God have mercy on me

[Verse 2]
All I know
I'm holy alone
With filth-ridden fever dreams
Oh, she sings
Prayers without words, yet she worships me

[Refrain]
Dona nobis pacem
Miserere nobis
God have mercy on them
God have mercy on me
[Chorus 1]
Hold my tongue in your teeth, oh, sinner
Penitence on my knees, oh, deliver me
What am I to believe when the wine and the wheat
Stain me this sinner's red I bleed?

[Verse 3]
All I know
Is paper-thin scripture
Holding the weight of my soul
The pages are worn, and the lesson is torn
If my heart is his to burn or keep

[Refrain]
Dona nobis pacem
Miserere nobis
God have mercy on them
God have mercy on me

[Chorus 2]
Hold my tongue in your teeth, oh, sinner
Penitence on my knees, oh, deliver me
What am I to believe when the wine and the wheat
Stain me this sinner's red I bleed?
Give me strength in the sea, oh, sinner
Be the light that I see when the light has left me
When you hold me, I feel holy
When you kiss me, I
Bleed
Whoa...
[Outro]
All I know
You love me so
But that still leaves
Something sick in me
