Prey For Me

(album: So Much Blood - 2022)

The light is peeking through the curtain, and it's blinding
Signed it in blood so I am certain that it's binding
Still taste the ash, smell the flesh burn, I see 'em scream
Their offerings to wicked things, red eyes and broken wings
And so I made the pact, my soul it fade to black
Humanity, what's left of me, there ain't no turning back
I make the the sacrifice, for this I pay the price
To take the pain away I gladly say I'd pay it twice
And give me life to something I could never comprehend
Tried to live the way they wanted now I'm dying to begin
Nothing left, my final breath and now I finally shed the skin
Heard my sanity keep knocking and I finally let it in

I can't pray for you, 'cause you're prey for me
And I'm doomed for Hell, don't need the irony
Just a seven day sinner, every night you'll see
I'm not trying to be saved, I need your honesty
I can't pray for you, 'cause you're prey for me
And I'm doomed for Hell, don't need the irony
Just a seven day sinner, every night you'll see
On your knees, you will pray for me

The dark is peeking through the curtain and I notice
Such clarity, I've never seen this type of focus
I taste the blood and feel the flood a warmth without a scream
Their offerings I take a drink become that wicked thing
They see me peace with death, need to release the breath
When life resides, it leaves the eyes until there's nothing left
I take the sacrifice, concede and take a life
I can't describe how so alive it feel to take a knife
And slice into uncertainty then hear the angels cry
Know my empathy is certainly where angels come to die
Please forgive me if you're begging me and I do not reply
See the sun is finally setting and I will not be denied

I can't pray for you, 'cause you're prey for me
And I'm doomed for Hell, don't need the irony
Just a seven day sinner, every night you'll see
I'm not trying to be saved, I need your honesty
I can't pray for you, 'cause you're prey for me
And I'm doomed for Hell, don't need the irony
Just a seven day sinner, every night you'll see
On your knees, you will pray for me

Now I lay me down to sleep
Bathed in blood, no soul to keep
If you die and never wake
Pray for me, it's too late

I can't pray for you, 'cause you're prey for me
And I'm doomed for Hell, don't need the irony
Just a seven day sinner, every night you'll see
I'm not trying to be saved, I need your honesty
I can't pray for you, 'cause you're prey for me
And I'm doomed for Hell, don't need the irony
Just a seven day sinner, every night you'll see
On your knees, you will pray for me
I can't pray for you, 'cause you're prey for me
And I'm doomed for Hell, don't need the irony
Just a seven day sinner, every night you'll see
I'm not trying to be saved, I need your honesty
I can't pray for you, 'cause you're prey for me
And I'm doomed for Hell, don't need the irony
Just a seven day sinner, every night you'll see
On your knees, you will pray for me
