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
