for the want

there’s blood on the moon, blood on the waves

blood in the midst of her evil ways

she’s making me smile just to see me frown

pulling me up just to push me down

she’s making me laugh just to see me cry

making me live just to see me die

she’s making me crawl on my hands and knees

making me chase black moonbeams

there’s blood on the moon, blood in the sea

blood in the way she’s got control of me

she gives me a voice so I can cry out in shame

gives me a mirror where I lay the blame

she calls out my name just to see me run

pushes me away just to see me come

she’s making me crawl on my hands and knees

making me chase black moonbeams

there’s blood on the moon, blood on the waves

blood on the cross from where Jesus saves

I try to run but get dragged back to the whore

when I reach out for mercy she just closes the door

she’s hunting for me and I’m feeling scared

ravaged and torn with a cross to bear

she sends me her glory with the blink of an eye

as the blades of her daggers sink deep in my thighs

and I scream for forgiveness and Thy will be done

but the devil’s witch knows that her battle’s been won

she clutches my throat and tightens her hold

for the want of a God my soul I have sold

there’s blood on the moon, blood on the waves

blood on the cross from where Jesus saves

and I falling down the spiral stairs

falling down and no one cares
