Shell-shocked from fright I stay up half the night Don't you ever feel the curse In the heartbeat of your universe And I had a hand my friend In ushering darkness in Now I wish that even more I could show it to the door I hear one day You will level the cynics rage Ever prayer that's ever been prayed Will surely not be turned away And no tears shed for dying or dead That won't be wiped away Justice locked up for weak and poor
Will soon come breaking down the door And Father why do I feel like a casualty I try to do what I should But it doesn't do any good does it I'm at the bitter end of rope Of all my might have beens And I could be swinging from it Or maybe then again I could use it wisely Climb out of this pit of snakes I could use it wisely To pull up the veil that hides your face
