dont you pray

appearences of the dead
to be sustained
wallowing in grief
fighting to the end

rolling in fields of lies
charging down the dead
catch a leaf in the air
bow your head in shame

shower with peppered taints
you were deceived by a saint
dont you pray for the dead
life and love were the sinner

blood run down the side of my face
it has been there forever
i just cannot remember
why i pray for the dead

howling winds scream
feel it through your hair
seek for answers to nothing
one step at a time

dont you pray for the dead
their life is one and the same
