Casualty for Prayer - Stemm

The last time I think that we met

Your blade was held tight to my neck

Oh, how the might can fall

When the flock run your paper walls down

Did you scream till your voice could be heard?

Did my actions speak louder than words?

Or was the writing on the wall

Enough to make you cut and run?

Run from your past mistakes

Feel the ground start to quake

Open and swallow you whole

This fire inside me still burns

Till the stars fall from the sky

Or the sun refuses to shine

I’ll be waiting to send you to your maker

Your savior

As your blood scent fills the air

Another casualty for prayer

I know inside this nightmare never ends

No prayers for your safe return

The bridge that we built has been burnt

Or was the hole that you have dug

Enough for you to cut and run?

Run from your past memories

Feel the ground start to quake

Open and swallow you whole

This fire inside me still burns

Till the stars fall from the sky

Or the sun refuses to shine

I’ll be waiting to send you to your maker

Your savior

As your blood scent fills the air

Another casualty for prayer

I’ll make my last words and final breath

I know this nightmare will never end

Take the cloth from my eyes and from my mouth

Look to the sky

As the nightmare continues

Then the suffering won’t end

As the nightmare continues

Let the suffering begin
