Tears of the Damned

Cry at Night

God on High, can you hear me?

Lift my prayer unto you!

Lord of Sky, Lord of Heaven,

heed my call, I need you!

You work damn hard, ‘cause there’s nothing left worth living for.

And you don’t have the balls, just to give it up and die.

You cry at night, ‘cause there’s nothing left worth living for.

And you search your soul, just to find the reasons why.

There’s a fix for every problem, an elixir for your pain.

It doesn’t have a form, and it has a million names.

It’s that burning in your heart, when you’re too alone to cry.

And that sudden fierce aversion when you feel you want to die.

Oh God on High, can you hear me?

Lift my prayer unto you!

Lord of Sky, Lord of Heaven,

heed my call, I need you!

You’re empty inside, ‘cause there’s nothing left worth living for.

The world when it falls, falls down around your ears.

You cry at night, ‘cause there’s nothing left worth living for.

You search for a faith, that you haven’t known in years.

There’s an answer for your question, a penance for your pain.

It doesn’t cost you money and it don’t drive you insane.

It’s the sudden realization that you are not alone.

It’s a subtle divination that you come to on your own.

Oh God on High, can you hear me?

Lift my prayer unto you!

Lord of Sky, Lord of Heaven,

heed my call, I need you!

Your back on your feet, ‘cause you fought for what’s worth living for.

The world and it’s woes be damned to take you down.

You cry at night, ‘cause you fought for what’s worth living for.

But it’s tears of joy for the love you found.

You answered your own question, and it slowly eased the pain.

You survived because you fought for life, and danced in the rain.

It’s the sudden understanding that you have a purpose here.

And you never have to live your life behind a wall of fear.

God on High, can you hear me?

Lift my prayer unto you!

Lord of Sky, Lord of Heaven,

heed my call, I need you!
