I prayed with all the tears I bled, that you’d come back from the dead

You stayed, despite the tears you bled, so I’ll come back from the dead

Drops so heavy they could have been rain

That night, I saw everything

I know what you were doing to you

Did you know, what you were doing to me?

A kiss, so false it had to be true

A kiss leaving me in agony

That night it all started

Something wicked in the garden

No thing slices like Apathy

No weight crushes like hostility

Seeing you and I so far apart

And watching how you stumbled

were hooks that ripped my heart

and the rest of me crumbled

That morning it had dared

Something wicked in the square

Please don’t hide behind your shame

And know, I’ve endured the same

Pressure penetrates your skull

All those hands stripping you naked

Alone and exposed before all

And wondering how you’ll make it

That day it had shadowed me

Something wicked in the city

If you would just allow

For me to help you now

Don’t fret that I’m carrying you

On this road to eternity

I had once needed help too

And he does not demand alacrity

That noon on the trail

Something wicked was doomed to fail

You tied me up

You nailed me down

You pierced me through

You jeered

And I fell silent

And I fell

Through that abyss

So I could rise

And bring you with me

Nothing wicked can stop me

I prayed with all the tears I bled, 
that you’d come back from the dead

You stayed, despite the tears you bled, 
so I’ll come back from the dead
