The sun ablaze as Maria's foot touches the sand

She prays to nothing, no one, nobody no more

[Verse 2]
D
And now she's got a quota, the needle and thread crucifixion
Dm
Sold and shipped across the new line of Mason Dixon
Dm
Rippin' through denim, the point an inch from her vein
G F
The foreman approaches, his steps pound in her brain
D
His steps pound in her brain
Ab D
Her arms jerks, the sisters gather ’round her and scream
D
As if in a dream, eyes on the crimson stream
G
Numb as her wrists spit blood to the floor
F D
I Am nothing, no one, nobody no more
[Refrain]
