Prayer of the Fallen
Now I cry myself to sleep
the pain lulling me into the deep
I pray to darkness, my eternal night
that you will shield me from dawn's light
Once I felt that I belonged
that I would never be wronged
a grave mistake it is I've made
and now I shall fall to my knees and obey
I know theres no escape this time
nowhere left for me to hide
I will surrender to your embrace
fallen away from God's grace
Now I cry myself to sleep
the pain lulling me into the deep
I have lost the will to fight
and I pray you have mercy this very night...
