Survivor

Seven miles from nowhere
A young boy pardoned to the mountains
Feelings left abandoned
Now slaved and captive to the cultists
Religious fingerprinting
Decodes humanity within him
Isolates in silence
Prepare the life to be protected

I know not what evil I have done to earn this sorrow
I am lost in my own mind
Be present at our table Lord, my spirit's beaten, black, and scorned
Again

Hear me father for I'm desperate
Be my star; light the way
Singing softly words to songs and hopes I only dream of
Another chance, another day, another brave mistake

Walk the halls of 'normal'
Segregated by the living
Cast aside from life and death
Seeking solace in my shadows

Something's missing from this place in turn to feed this hunger
Something's never gone away
Something's wrong with me in ways that no one's understanding
I'm all alone
Hear me father for I'm desperate
Be my star; light the way
Singing softly words to songs and hopes I only dream of
Another chance to make me stay

Now I hear that those in like are slowly dying
Alone and cold and faded flames
The friends I never knew were still called home in sorrow
So now, departed, in all my pain, in all my love I sing this song for you

Another vacant soul departed
Another candle lit today
Another victim claimed by hills of mourning left unbounded
Let us murder, let us pray

Hear me father for I'm desperate
Be my star; light the way
Singing softly words to songs and hopes I only dream of
Another chance, another day, another brave mistake
