Annora

Lyrics

Tempted by the good book with the mercy of the Lord
Words so sweet cut me like a sword
Blood drained out with my wicked ways
Taste of forgiveness until the end of my days

But the blood ran dry
And the demons came in
Ripped and they tore at the scars on my skin
And I prayed for forgiveness and I prayed to see the light
But mercy is failing me
My mouth is dripping with lies

Washed my sorrows away with the blood of the son
Choking down the flesh like the barrel of a gun
Contemplate my savior in his roman palisade
Centuries of grief with berries written on a cave

But the blood ran dry
And the demons came in
Ripped and they tore at the scars on my skin
And I prayed for forgiveness and I prayed to see the light
But mercy is failing me
My mouth is dripping with lies

Take me away on that ship for two
Back to the garden that the old ones knew
I promise darling I won't speak my truth
Serpent in my veins aint coming through

But the blood ran dry
And the demons came in
Ripped and they tore at the scars on my skin
And I prayed for forgiveness and I prayed to see the light
But mercy is failing me
My mouth is dripping with lies
Forgiveness is failing me, pages torn at the spine
Curse all this reckoning, Father has left us behind
