Don’t Pray for Me Songtext
von Within Temptation

"Will all who wish to die please raise their hands"

I′m lost in the dark
I'm not blind to what I see
I know the river is wide and the water is deep
I feel the cold, my heart skips a beat

I don′t need your absolution, so don't hold that sword over me
For my confessions I don't need a church
I don′t need salt to know where it hurts

Don′t pray for me, no ("will all who wish to die please raise their hands")

I cannot breathe for you
You're trying over and over, denying what I feel
And every time you bow down your head to pray
Don′t pray for me, don't pray for me


Oh, I needed a revolution
I never had a war in mind
And now the river runs dry and the fall is deep
The truth is dark and makes us bleed
In hell is where I stand, it′s where I find my inner strength
For my confessions I don't need a church
I don′t need salt to know where it hurts

Don't pray for me, no

I cannot breathe for you
You're trying over and over, denying what I feel
And every time you bow down your head to pray
Don′t pray for me, don′t pray for me

I cannot breathe for you
You're trying over and over, denying what I feel
And every time you bow down your head to pray
Don′t pray for me, don't pray for me
