First Prayer lyrics

In the prayer

Can't seem to find the right words

But we stretch our dead arms

For salvation

The foundation

And the chemical need

Discordance put a veil

Over my creed

So sweet my fever now

Embraced by its tainted wings

Cup my hands and taste the spite

Immune to the truths you told

In the wake

Reverence in my every move

The wretched stars aligned

For dead wisdom

The apparition

Rise with my every breath

Grasping for the one

Who lie beneath

You leave now

Leave my void of prayers

Take these words to go with you

Take the splinters

See them fall

Idle stare

Who will come forth from the dry wind

And find my blood

And clothes and rust

Cleaned the past

Like water through stone

Earth did cast a shade

Over my sleep
