Cursed by the Cross Lyrics

Mary, I am cursed by the cross that I carry
x3

Mary, I was looking in the mirror for you
Mary, I'll serve for you
Mary, I am cursed by the cross that I carry
Mary, I was looking in the mirror for you
Mary, I'm so cold
Mary, Whatever happened to you?

Mary, The ghosts I'm been haunted by are hospital men
Mary, I am so cursed by the cross that I carry
Mary, I did not ask for any of this
Mary, I only did what I told me to do
Mary, I've been looking in the mirror for you
Mary, I was cursed by the cross that I carry

The devil with a kissing fetish.
Say my name,
If he will guide the tongue
x4

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I don't think Mary is a physical person in the song tbh. I think she's either a split personality ("Mary, I was looking in the mirror for you"), or a memory he's obsessed with (presumably an ex lover.) I think either that side of the personality, or his recreation of that ex, twisted him to do something wrong (either kill her, or do some crime for her) and he's suffering for it, either in prison, or in some other way. Maybe the religious connotations of the song are a reference to people who think they've seen figures of, or been possessed by the virgin Mary?

Not sure about the last verse of the song though.

Don't call me a moron... I'm aware of that the song on some level features the Virgin Mary, it's pretty hard to miss.
