[Intro]

The thing I fear

Seeing the man in the mirror

[Verse 1]

These bones are sick

Sorrow like an abyss

It never ends

Sorrow like a poison

Like rot in a willow

My soul breaks under the pain

By your spirit strengthen me again

[Pre-Chorus]

The soul which pants for streams of joy

That soul shall never be quenched of its thirst

Like an open wound that never heals

This pain is taking all of me

[Chorus]

Father save me, save me, save me

How can it be, oh how can this be?

Indeed the blade cuts too deep

Can’t you find it within your heart to take it easy on me?

Take my soul, set me free

[Verse 2]

Tears cannot fall

If the eyes no longer have life

What if I leapt for the chance?

What if I ended this dance?

I was dancing a dance I never asked for

[Pre-Chorus]

The soul which pants for streams of joy

That soul shall never be quenched of its thirst

Like an open wound that never heals

This pain is taking all of me

[Chorus]

Father save me, save me, save me

How can it be, oh how can this be?

Indeed the blade cuts too deep

Can’t you find it within your heart to take it easy on me?

Take my soul, set me free

[Instrumental, ambient guitar solo]

[Chorus]

Father save me, save me, save me

How can it be, oh how can this be?

Indeed the blade cuts too deep

Can’t you find it within your heart to take it easy on me?

Take my soul, set me free
