Thy kingdom come, thy will be done to me, betrayer
Throw your stones and stab me with your hateful stares
Curtain call, the final act, so say your prayers
So long to you beloved traitor
A Last Supper with nothing to say
All of the words have fallen onto my plate
I feel a fearful feeling starting to lead me astray
Hiding my deep desires tore me apart
Fighting to hate things I want in my heart
Budding a bloody venom, forcing me into the dark
The things I've seen and wanna believe
But I deny the truth that's staring at me
I know the cross I bear is starting to wear on my knees
Feeling a bleeding, burning something in me
Beneath a voice too timid, bubbling deep
Shutting a throat so singed, I don't have a word that won't sting
Cutting out this doubt, I see now- clear and free, let loose what's killing me
Lower your eyes, my love and spite look quite alike
I worship you but hate grew up into
This bitter, sweet disguise
Then your mercy came to take the pain that I had on my mind
Even if we have to say our goodbyes,
Even if we lose sight of our lives
You'll always have me in your heart,
I'll never part from your side
If only I could stop you leaving
If I could hold you right here with me,
You could wash away my secret sins
Save me from the hate I hide within
Peace can dirty like water into wine
Baptized and brought to light, I'll make them see you're a witch in disguise
Innocence has died,
Wilted by your lies
"Let's break you from this cage",
But you never came to set me free
I'm whispering, still standing in the rain,
Nothing will change, I'm praying the same thing every day
I've lost my faith and myself all the same,
It's too late to be saved
Torn apart, I'm stuck in hate while hoping I can somehow change
If we're tired of this back-and-forth strut,
If there is nothing left here for us
I'll see that we are both set free,
Tonight I'll see we find peace
So that nobody can conquer your heart,
So nobody can tear us apart
You should trust yours in these hands of mine
Lean on me and you'll be alright
Tears I shared with you,
Joy I shared with you,
Fights I shared with you,
Songs I shared with you,
Dances shared with you,
Secrets shared with you
Still, I'm whispering the same prayer every day
「How much longer, will this feeling torture me?」
I can't forget the things you said to me; the way we used to be
Just how many times will my mind keep bringing up your lies
Look me right in the eyes
Even if we have to say our goodbyes,
Even if we lose sight of our lives
You'll always have me in your heart,
I'll never part from your side
If only I could stop you leaving
If I could hold you right here with me,
I'll make sure that all my secret sins-
Everything my heart has hid,
All the feelings deep within;
Beating in my heart's the
Truth, Amen.
