    Default For This I Pray

    The Past is no excuse
    Despite the scars it left.
    The tears shed from your eyes
    Have proven my last theft.
    My words will not retrieve
    The things I magnified.
    Please believe that this is not
    What's hidden deep inside.

    Chorus:
    I swore my life,
    I swore my soul
    To do my best
    To keep you whole.
    Sometimes I fail,
    Sometimes you'll stay.
    Believe me now
    For this I pray.

    Justice deems me guilty
    And I'll admit it's true.
    Nothing now can make up for
    The things I said to you.
    I'll stop my heart to find
    The man you need from me
    Since I can see the pain in you
    And you can see the death in me.

    Chorus

    It's draining finding
    Your mistakes.
    You're not the one
    I should forsake.
    Your heart so pure
    Yet sick from strain
    Is not your fault
    But mine to claim.

    I swore my life,
    I swore my soul
    To do my best
    To keep you whole.
    I know I failed,
    I plead you'll stay.
    Forgive me now,
    For this I pray.

    Have you ever seen blood in the moonlight? It appears quite black. Have you ever seen spiders crawling on the graves?

    Suicide River is still my favorite of your lyrics, but this is a very close second ...

    Jeez ... I don't know ... give me day and I might decide this one's the best ... because there is so much said here!

    And I must I must I must quote my favorite part:

    I'll stop my heart to find
    The man you need from me
    Since I can see the pain in you
    And you can see the death in me.


    GREAT work, just great!
