Ave Maria, maiden mild
Oh, listen to a maiden's prayer
For thou canst hear amid the wild
Tis thou, tis thou canst save amid despair
We slumber safely 'till the morrow
Tho' we, by men, outcast, reviled
Oh, maiden, see a maiden's sorrow
Oh, mother, hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria
Ave Maria, undefiled
The flinty couch where on we're sleeping
Shall seem with down of eider piled
If thou above, sweet, watch our keeping
The murky cavern's air's so heavy
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled
Oh, maiden, hear a maiden's pleading
Oh, mother, hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria
Ave Maria, stainless styled
Oh, fiends of air and earth the essence
From this, their wonted haunt exiled
Shall flee before thy holy presence
We bow beneath our care so laden
To thy dear guidance reconciled
Then hear, maiden, simple maiden
And for a father hear a child
Ave Maria
The background music seems WAY too intrusive.

i HEARD HIS RENDITION AT A WAL MART TWO YEARS AGO AND FELL IN LOVE. IT'S VERY HAUNTING AND THAT'S WHY I MUST HAVE IT PLAYING IN MY PSYCH THRILLER.

From 4:08 on with the vocal harmony gives me shivers, especially at the 4:54 mark. WOW.
