Silent Prayer

Intro

Verse

Conform to your convictions

Or be destined to receive

Anti-Messiah’s with the cruelest of intentions

And a dozen dirty tricks up their sleeve

Pre-Chorus

 

You say you can’t remember how much time

You spent forsaking his name to try to save your own

So there will be no sense in penitence

Once you’re cast into the great unknown

Chorus

Rolling over in your bed just to kiss the serpents head

 

Seven lonely virgins on a dead man’s thrown

Silent prayers carved in stone

Solo (, , , , , , )

Verse

What reward awaits the living

If death conceals its trace

How can we climb the waters if we’ve never swam the mountains

Or explored the breath of inner space

 

You say you can’t recall a better time you’ve had

Beneath the penetrating tide

So you find another stage to protest

All the demons that you’ve let inside

Chorus

Rolling over in your bed just to kiss the serpents head

 

Seven lonely virgins on a dead man’s thrown

Silent prayers carved in stone

Verse

Ignore those apparitions

Just speculate instead

If day turns in tonight without the promise of tomorrow

How the hell are you to move ahead

 

(Maybe you should spend) less time trying

To forsake his name to try to save your own

Just trade in your two cents for penitence

Before you’re cast into the great unknown

Chorus

Rolling over in your bed just to kiss the serpents head

 

Seven lonely virgins on a dead man’s thrown

Silent prayers carved in stone

Rolling over in your bed just to kiss the serpents head

 

Seven lonely virgins on a dead man’s thrown
