Casualty For Prayer

Stemm

Compositor: Joe Cafarella / Stemm / TJ Frost

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
