River of Sorrow Take Me At Last

(River of Sorrow) Take Me At Last What did I tell you, love of mine I said I was jaded but trying to find Cracks in this wall, a small ray of light Feeling the pain of my feet on this path Watching the world as it has a good laugh Lines of the scars you read on my wrist Don't make a big deal now, think nothing of this They're just maps of pain, roads that I've passed Being a fool in the cogs of belief Just like Barrabas, caught like a thief And so I bring not a thing to the table I thought you should know I've emptied my glass I hold neither hope for nor fear of tomorrow River of sorrow, take me at last Take me at last Whatever fuels you is draining me A master of puppets you turned out to be Standing beside you, it's like I'm alone I know that there's darkness getting too thick The cage door is closing, I've got to move quick And so I bring not a thing to the table I thought you should know I've emptied my glass I hold neither hope for nor fear of tomorrow River of sorrow, take me at last River of sorrow, take me at last
