Prayer Of The Prey
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I will not compete this way
I refuse to run your race
She feeds off all of the anguish and wrath
Of those who could not escape from her grasp
I wish you could see yourself as I do
All these obstructions entangled round you
I will not compete this way
I refuse to run your race
Turn and run, escape while you can
You're just a part of her master plan (master plan)
You heard the stories and still decided not to heed
She promised you she'd be everything that you need
She was an angel or at least that's what you believed
But when you turned your back you knew that you were deceived
You heard the stories and still decided not to heed
She promised you she'd be everything that you need
She was an angel or at least that's what you believed
But when you turned your back you knew that you were deceived
I won't. Back down. I will. Hold my ground!
I won't. Back down. I will. Hold my ground!
I won't. Back down. I will. Hold my ground!
I won't. Back down. I will. Hold my ground!
(You're were the weight on top of my chest
Now that you're gone I've got nothing left)
I will not compete this way
I refuse to run your race
You heard the stories and still decided not to heed
She promised you she'd be everything that you need
She was an angel or at least that's what you believed
But when you turned your back you knew that you were deceived
You heard the stories and still decided not to heed
She promised you she'd be everything that you need
She was an angel or at least that's what you believed
But when you turned your back you knew that you were deceived
You heard the stories and still decided not to heed
You heard the stories, you heard the stories
She was an angel or at least that's what you believed
You heard the stories, you heard the stories
Light fires, light fires thanks to your goodbyes
Let's start new but start without you
I thought you might have been better than this
But that ship has sailed and you will not be missed
I thought you might have been better than this
But that ship has sailed and you will not be missed
