Lyrics Mother Heroic - Björk

Oh, thou that bowest
Thy ecstatic face
Thy perfect sorrows
Are the world's to keep

Wherefore onto
Thy knees
Come we
With a prayer

Oh, thou that bowest
Thy ecstatic face
Thy perfect sorrows
Are the world's to keep

Wherefore onto
Thy knees
Come we
With a prayer

Mother heroic
Mother glorious

Beholding in thy eyes
Immortal tears

Oh, thou that bowest
Thy ecstatic face

Oh-ooh...
