Let Us Pray

Let Us Pray

For all the souls that can't be saved

For the treasured love that never stays

The many tears I've cried today

My old friends who've gone away

The truths that lie under the betray

The endless days spinning by, they're all the same

Blue skies that turn to grey

The many infections that destroy our brains

The countless dead soldiers who lay to waste

For all these things, Let us pray

Into our confessions, we will fade
