by All Else Failed· from In My God's Eye 10
i cover up my face
and i'm weaping
by your grave
if i could choose
i'd die so you could live
and i cannot find the light
so i will just decay
see i told her that we
would never live
to see the day
(when we kissed those pointless dreams goodbye)
what man loves
god kills
how should i go on
do you think that she choked
with her eyes open wide
what did she realize
in the final cold tide
do you lay awake nights
with the sheets dripping wet
has love been replaced by fleating regret
that's what you get
when you tell your ugly heart
to feel
that's what you get
for pretending the danger's
not real
drown
a thousand tears
the angels wept
promised blood
that promise kept
a thousand years
said to protect
yet in the heavens
the angels slept
brought forth a flood
come sea of bllod
swept away all hope
swept away the sun
man's last breath
the angels rise
the promise shattered
the close their eyes
fall
unanswered prayer
a sealed fate
exhile and shame
from heaven's gate
a thousand tears
the angels wept
they promised blood
that promise kept
fall from grace
angels walk among
men here
the end for us is
drawing near
and from his eye arose a tear
falls to the ground
naked on the soil he lay
once predator
becomes the prey
in sea of blood
is swept away
carried away
and he was gone
this crippled dove
it comes to me in visions
it comes to me in dreams
i never knew of something
so unlike what it seems
dove climbs with passion
to the gates of heaven's wall
clip its wings
and back to hell it falls
index
follow suit in order
of demand
one life
one grain of sand
days shrivel
like slugs in salt
absent
my love
my fault
why can't i wake up
from this nightmare
and find you lying
next to me
the lord giveth
the lord taketh away
you revived this battered soul
one constant one control
now left alone in thought
an idle mind
is the devil's workshop
i'm coming home
i'm coming back for you
