Casualty For Prayer Lyrics

Stemm Casualty For Prayer

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

Beneath my skin, acoustic bonus part:

Darkness fills the whole house
Like a shadow in the shade
Cuz the life you live
Is the life you blame
Now I'm left standing in the rain?
All I wanted was for you to believe
In the only thing that made me feel so free
And now I'm tearing down all that I started
Today is the last time
You crawl beneath my skin
Sever the life-line
That I used to let you in
And the scars remain
Where you carved your name
And now I'm tearing down everything left of you
Silence fills the holes now
Where I used to feel no shame
And I feel you standing above me
Like a lion stalks his prey
(Now) All I want is for you to bleed
I'm not as close as you seem to think
And now I'm tearing down all that I started
Today is the last time
You crawl beneath my skin
Sever the life-line
That I used to let you in
And the scars remain
Where you carved your name
And now I'm tearing down everything left of you
Oh
All that's left of you
Oh
Shed my skin of you
Was it happiness you found?
When you were pushing me around?
Yet I hold the flame to hope and my desires
Ashes of a burned heart
But did not ask for this
Today is the last time
You crawl beneath my skin
Sever the life-line
That I used to let you in
And the scars remain
Where you carved your name
And now I'm tearing down everything left of...
Today is the last time
Today is the last time
Today is the last time
Today is the last time
And the scars remain
Where you carved your name
And now I'm tearing down everything left of
Nothing more to give you
As I hold the flame to hope and my desires
