Anathema Lyrics

Album: Eternity

Cries on the Wind Lyrics

I cry a tear of hope but it is lost in helplessness

The darkness eats away at the very embers of my soul

For the deepest love I had has dissolved before my eyes

My sorrow is bleak, I beg for deliverance

Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer

All emotion is consumed by an inner silence

All grief is unassuaged by disconsulate tears

I want for nothing, I live for nothing

I am waiting to die but I am afraid of dying

Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer

Crestfallen emotion

Wallowing in guilt

Drowning for evermore

Falling deeper into fear

My inner self is now

a sleeper of stone

Help me.
