Affliction Lyrics by SubRosa

More Constant Than the Gods

0

[Verse 1]
Oh, sweet God above
Please, please take me home
Show me the mercy
That he, that he denied
I, I've paid my dues
And I, I've served my time

[Chorus]
The shadow's haunting me the way it haunted him
He looked in my baby's eyes and he felt nothing then
He felt nothing then, he felt nothing then
And he feels nothing now

[Verse 2]
Not a day goes by
That I don't think of him
I don't know what he suffered, Lord
And I don't know what he's seen
But he's spread his sadness
Like, like a disease

[Chorus]
The shadow's haunting me the way it haunted him
He looked in my baby's eyes and he felt nothing then
He felt nothing then, he felt nothing then
And all I feel's anguish now

[Bridge]
There's is a darkness born out of time
It creeps along the edge of our excess
Its hatred ripples in our fertile hearts
Like heat waves shimmering with their mirage
It gathers chessmen and loaded guns
It snuffs the candles out, one by one

[Outro]
Oh, sweet God above
Please, please take me home
Show me the mercy
That he, that he denied
