Intro

 Oh hail Mary, full of death

Sing me a bitter song

 As dark as the day is long

 And as black as your eyes are wild

 While the hail from the blackened cloud is raking the firmament

 Destroying our argument

 About the temperature and the time

Wild and unbroken

 We lay like a wounded lamb, facing a billygoat

 Bowed down in our heavy coats

 Under the force and the threat of his eyes

 And we march in our rows and rows

Under a burning hand

Past the scars of the wounded land

 Into a country of thorns and spines

Wild and unbroken

 Oh, God save the chamberlain

 Oh, God save his appointed successor

 But God saved his hardest face for you and all your kind

That's what's troubling me

Hail Mary, sick and proud

 And holding aloft the light

 That would burn through a heaving night

 And then leave us upon the rocks

And the child who is nearly born

Waits just to do you harm

Like the shock of a broken arm

 Or a love that would burn you blind

Wild and unbroken
