about

Song based on the spirituality of St. Louis de Montfort and Total Consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary

lyrics

Can I ever
Attain to be near God's throne
A sinner never
can never make it on his own
But I fight against every reason
That worthless vermin can still hope
To rise above our treason
And traverse perils safely home
But How can it be so?
How can God take me back?
A faithless worm, damned below
Sin has stained this soul black!

Mary take my hand
Pull me up to my feet again
To the promised land
Loving mistress without sin

Mary take my hand
Lead me to your Holy Son
To the promised land
with you by me, I'm not alone

All the earth
Boasts its evil as a good
What's it worth
The little that I wish I could
But Every good that I will ever do
And Every good that I've ever done
I give it all to you
Perfect it in grace for your Holy Son
You're the safest way
To conform to God's Holy Christ
You're the surest way
To make demons take to flight

Mary take my hand
Pull me up to my feet again
To the promised land
Loving mistress without sin

Mary take my hand
Lead me to your Holy Son
To the promised land
with you by me, I'm not alone

As I ready
To meet eternity
Keep me safe
from sins gravity as I die....

Mary's hand to hold
What consolation to be not alone
Please Plead my soul
Before God's majestic throne

I pass the gate
To the Glory of the Trinity
Its not left to fate
She leads us to Jesus in Eternity

Last Rites Bridgewater, New Jersey

Last Rites is a solo Christian metal project. The sole member, Sean Bailey, takes inspiration from the world around him and distills it into music. Last Rites is not a typical metal experience - it is emotional and intellectual, brutal and beautiful. Although there is a clear nod to the masters of thrash metal and progressive music, Last Rites has a style of its own. ... more
