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?
