Life Gone Astray

I'm walking through the River of a life gone astray
My God, The life and death are all around me.
I'm walking throught the Streets, Star's
Silent tears falling
In a way I can't see, but I know they are there
The streets shine with purity where the sky's tears have fallen
The night starts to shimmer
The night starts to scream
Dear God, I am tired of crawling through the mud.
I want to stand up and lift my eyes to the sky
Dear God, I am tired of falling forever
Heal my broken wings so I can fly...
Dear God, I'm drowning in shit, tears and blood
Incense and tranquilizers and corpses and flowers
Dear God, give me something pure again
I saw myself in a shattered mirror
My wings may be black but I can still fly
Can you take this poison from me?
Unchain their lies from around my heart?
Break the enchantment that holds me here?
It's not supposed to be this way
Inhaling orchid air and choking on the ashen air
Let the fire burn the streets
Let the stars cry their tears
Wash my spirit clean
Take away the blackened stains
The relics left by alien thoughts
Dear God, give me the purity of darkness
I want to be clean again...
