Love is just a history that they may prove
And when you're gone I'll tell them my religion's you
When Pontius come to kill the king upon his throne
I'm ready for their stones
I'll dance, dance, dance
With my hands, hands, hands,
Above my head, head, head
Like Jesus, said
I'm gonna dance, dance, dance
With my hands, hands,
Hands above my head
Dance together
Forgive him before he's dead because
I won't cry for you
I won't crucify the things you do
I won't cry for you, see
When you're gone I'll still be bloody Mary
We are not just art for Michelangelo
To carve, he can't rewrite the aggro of my furied,
Heart, I'll wait on mountain tops in Paris cold
Je ne veux pas mourir toute seule
I'll dance, dance, dance
With my hands, hands, hands,
Above my head, head, head
Like Jesus, said
I'm gonna dance, dance, dance
With my hands, hands,
Hands above my head
Dance together
Forgive him before he's dead because
I won't cry for you
I won't crucify the things you do
I won't cry for you, see
When you're gone I'll still be bloody Mary
Gaga, Gaga, Gaga, Gaga, Gaga, Gaga, Gaga, Gaga

Oh oh oh oh oh (Gaga)
Oh, liberdad mi amor

I won't cry for you
I won't crucify the things you do
I won't cry for you, see,
When you're gone, I'll still be Bloody
Mary.
She won't cry for them, because they called for her. She killed 'you', whoever 'you' is referenced to at the time, but she's going to continue killing people when they call for her, because it's what she does ;)
Was this anyone else's first thought when they first heard the song, or just the title?
1. love's just a history they may prove, my religion's you - the marys, out of rage at jesus' death, and refusal to lose their beloved, tell of their love in a different light, and jesus is now their religion.
2. we are not just art - both marys? well, the agro of furied heart, i thought this points to the rage as well, of someone losing the beloved.
3. bloody mary - since they were the ones who took his body, bathed and shrouded him, their hands had jesus' blood on them. if i have to do that for my loved one, i would never forget it either.

Bloody Mary = Bloody (Very) MERRY (Happy). English people will understand the use of the word "bloody".
She is simply talking about her deep love for someone. At the same time she is saying she is going to dance and still be happy when he is gone. There are many religious references but they are not really references as much as they are METAPHORS. This is what gaga means when she said that "This song is about between reality and fantasy".
I could go into detail about each line but it's not necessary. Everything should be self explained when you understand that Bloody Mary = Very Happy.
*this part describes how Mary stayed true to Jesus after his death*
Love, is just a history that they may prove
And when you're gone I'll tell them my religion's you
*this describes how mary was prepared to continue Jesus' teachings after his death, even though she might get prosecuted for it*
When Pontius to kill the king upon his throne
I'm ready for their stones.
*this describes the way female dancers in a kings court would dance in Jesus' time*
I'll dance, dance, dance
With my hands, hands, hands
Above my head, head, head
Like Jesus said.
I'm gonna dance, dance, dance
With my hands, hands, hands
Above my head
Dance together
Forgive him before he's dead
Because
*"i won't cry for you" interprets to how Mary stayed strong after Jesus' death*
I won't cry for you
*"i won't crucify the things you do" is a comparison between Mary and GaGa, meaning that GaGa would not judge people for who they are, what they do, or who they choose to be*
I won't crucify the things you do
I won't cry for you, see,
When you're gone, I'll still be Bloody
Mary.
*^^Mary continued on with teaching the word after Jesus was gone*
LOVE!
*Michaelangelo is famous for sculpting and painting figures from the Biblical era*
We are not just art for Michelangelo to carve
He can't rewrite the agro of my furied heart
I wait, on mountain tops in Paris cold
Je ne veux pas mourrir toute seule
*translates to "I do not want to die alone"*
I'll dance, dance, dance
With my hands, hands, hands
Above my head, head, head
Like Jesus said
I'm gonna dance, dance, dance
With my hands, hands, hands
Above my head
Dance together
Forgive him before he's dead
Because
I won't cry for you
I won't crucify the things you do
I won't cry for you, see,
When you're gone, I'll still be Bloody
Mary.
LOVE!
GaGa x 8
Dum dum da da da

I won't cry for you
I won't crucify the things you do

*Galician-translates to "Oh, freedom... My love..."*
