Mother!
Why have you forsaken me?
On this hill today
hanging on a thread.
Mother why have you forsaken?
Forsaken me from your thoughts,
forsaken me from your Providence.
Mother catch me as I fall.
The angels have failed,
now all that waits is darkness.

Cool the fire of hell for me.
For I have fallen
and will soon meet Lucifer.
Cool the fires,
for I fade into oblivion.

It has many meanings, I can't say what the official one is. Everyone can be forsaken in some way by their mother.

In other words, don't run away from duty, but try to love duty and it'll be easier for you.

Wow. Its ... deep. Does it have a double meaning? I mean to me it does. Its really cool :)
