I prayed for a blessing

instead, it left me guessing 

whether everything was worth the wait 

or if it was too late


I prayed for it everyday

instead, nothing was left to stay 

and now I curse it all

till the anger pushes and Ill fall


in need of your religion and your creed 

sacrifice until I bleed 

hang my head and shake my knees 

drown myself in my own seas


count the scars until they fade

re-read every serenade 

gaze the same moon each night

hoping you're looking at the same light


saved someone else for me to notice 

the god betrayed us with this 

"I gave my sacrifice to you..."

and now they salvage someone new


cried until the pain subsided 

fought until we confided 

somehow I don't want to pray 

if there was no power to stay


if worshippers seem to forget

there shall be no religion left

nothing to pray for anymore

the only thing that's left is lore


I broke the cross that left me 

stumbled on the road I see 

saw the shadows chasing me

religion said to "let it be"
