It's a rock opera about a heroin addicted assassin named Nikki working for a terrorist named Dr. X. Nikki's safe house is a church with a corrupt priest (he basically took Mary off of being a hooker and a stripper into being his personnel sex slave). Nikki falls in love with Mary and he want to run off with Mary after Dr. X scrubs the missions and wants him to kill the priest and Mary. In this song, he manages to kill the priest, but he can't get Mary to come with him. Being addicted, he is forced to get some more heroin. When he comes back, he finds her dead. He tries to take off, but is caught and charged with killing her (although not for the people he actually killed).

Somebody who knows good music, cool. The whole album is fictional, and it's been awhile since i've heard it. I think that's the one where Nikki (the protaganist) is fulfilling his mission to kill Mary the nun. The album is about a misfit who is recruited to kill political and religious leaders to fufill an agenda for an underground group. I think Nikki is in love with Mary, but she knows too much about this group and their criminal activities.
The whole album is great.

It's a part of the whole which is Operation mindcrime. It's a rock opera from start to finish. Listen and learn.

I found the lyrics online, sounds to me like it's about a vampire, but who knows.
[ SPOKEN ] Dr. X: "Kill her. That's all you have to do."
Nikki: "Kill Mary?"
Dr. X: "She's a risk, and get the priest as well."
10 P.M., I feel the rain coming down
My face feels the wet, my mind the storm
Flashing lights as people race to find shelter from the pour
Moving silent, through the streets, they're mine, they're mine
Midnite, she sings praises in the Hall
To saintly faces hallowed be their names she can't recall
Sister Mary, virgin Mary, silent with her sin
[ Mary: "What are you doing out in the rain?" ]
She feels me, I can taste her breath when she speaks
[ Mary: "I've been waiting for you. Come in." ]
Mary, Mary just a whore for the underground
They made you pay in guilt for your salvation
Thought you had them fooled? Now they've sent me for you
You know too much for your own good
Don't offer me faith, I've got all I need here
My faith is growing, growing tight against the seam
What we need is trust, to keep us both alive
Help us make it through the night
[ Mary ]
I've no more want of any faith
Binds my arm and feed my mind
The only peace I've ever known
I'll close my eyes and you shoot
No Mary, listen, you've got to pull your strength from my lips
I pray I feed you well
Your precious cross is gone, it made me wait so long
For what you gave to everyone
The priest is cold and dead on his knees he fed
From my barrel of death, he turned the Holy water red
As he died he said thank you
I just watched him bleed
[ Mary ]
I feel the flow, the blessed stain
Sweating hands like fire, and flames
Burn my thighs, spread in sacrificial rite
The hallowed altar burns my flesh once more tonight
Mary, sweet lady of pain
Always alone
Blind you search for the truth
I see myself in you, parallel lives
Winding at light-speed through time
No time to rest yet
We've got to stop his game
Before madness has the final laugh
Too much bloodshed
We're being used and fed
Like rats in experiments
No final outcome here
Only pain and fear
It's followed us both all our lives
There's one thing left to see
Will it be him or me?
There's one more candle left to light
[ Mary ]
Don't turn your back on my disgrace
The blood of Christ can't heal my wounds...so deep
The sins of man are all I taste
Can't spit the memory from my mind
I can't cry anymore
Mary, my lady of pain, always alone
Blind you search for the truth
I see myself in you, parallel lives
Winding at light-speed through time, you're mine
