[F#]how long will this take b[G]aba
[F#]how long have you been sl[G]eeping
[F#]do you see me hanging on [G]to
F# (indian riff)
every word you say
[F#]how soon will I be h[G]oly
[F#]how much will this cost [G]guru
[F#]how much longer 'til you
G F# (indian riff)
completely absolve me
Verse(same):
i've seen them give their drugs up
in place of makeshift altars
i've heard them chanting
kali kali frantically
i've heard them rotely repeat your
teachings with elitism
i've seen them boasting robes and
foreign sandalwood beads
i've seen them overlooking god in
their own essence
i've seen their upward glances
in hopes of instant salvation
i've seen their righteousness
mixed without loving compassion
i've watched you smile as
the students bow to kiss your feet
REPEAT CHORUS
[F#]Ave M[G]aria
