Sinners Also Pray

My closet keeps enough of skeletons
Heart hides old sins
And scars deep to the bones
Empty eyes and faded dreams

Lost memories and deep remorse
Sinners also do pray for mercy

Reveal me the path to the lost hideaway
Compose all the parts that left of me
Heal my soul and ease my pain
As I cannot stand it all anymore
Walking like dead in an endless dream
Lead me to the blessed shore

Black bloody trails upon the cheeks
No tears left by now
We all made mistakes and had sins
No matter when and how

Spare the soul still bleeding
Nothing left but a heart unforgiven

I have no more chance to lose
Just another day to survive this madness
Eternity enclosed in this noose
Like these days are but endless

Reveal me the path to the lost hideaway
Compose all the parts that left of me
Heal my soul and ease my pain
As I cannot stand it all anymore
Walking like dead in an endless dream
Lead me to the blessed shore

Silence takes step by step behind the closed door
Erasing the scars upon the dreamless porch forlorn
We are but forgotten echoes ever gone

Whisper to me another lullaby
Till the dawn takes away a hoping heart
