Long Dark Night

My Ruin

Hail Mary, full of grace
Be my muse and give me strength
Holy Mary, full of sin
Hear my prayer and let me in

Welcome to my long dark night - Can't sleep or close my eyes
Little slices of death I loathe them -
Refuse to get to know them
My rebirth of a scream eternalux with a heart at peace
O Lord have mercy - till it hurts - heed my words

This revelation won't be televised
My sacrifice will be this long dark night
This revelation won't be televised
My sacrifice will be this long dark night...of the soul

Blessed is the one who reads - these words of prophecy
Heavy is the hand that smites - In God we trust and fight
We rise from the dead and write our own new testament
O'Lord have mercy - I'm in mourning - heed my warning

This revelation won't be televised
My sacrifice will be this long dark night
This revelation won't be televised
My sacrifice will be this long dark night...of the soul

This, my winter of discontent - listen as I repent
Bleed for me on this night long -
Hear me as I speak in tongues
Blasphemy is so easy -
When you've lost your faith and don't believe
Help me heal my mind -This happens every time
Hands out wide I say to you --
Praise my scars and sacred wounds
Feel my pain and scripture inked in paint
I'm no saint!

This revelation won't be televised
This revelation won't be televised
This revelation won't be televised
This revelation won't be televised
On this long dark night of my soul
