Prophet's Opiate

from NO REST by Corpset

lyrics

A thousand years walking in haze
Eyes clouded by hate
Those endless years
Forever falling from grace

Marked forever
With stains that can’t be washed away
Candle burnt from both ends
What’s left reduced to ashes
Marked forever
These stains can’t be washed away

Searching for truth
Searching for something to believe

A world of lies, hollow smiles
Empty shells, glazed eyes
Beneath it all lies nothing
But lies

Marked forever
With stains that can’t be washed away
Candle burnt from both ends
What’s left reduced to ashes

Flame is dying away
No light to guide the way

He was despised and rejected by men
a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief
and as one from whom men hid their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not

There’s no truth - No right or wrong
Nothing more to give
For what you stand and fight is gone
Your world is dead to me

I am the resurrection and the life
he that believeth in me
though he were dead
yet shall he live

All the pain and grief are over
Every restless yearning past
I am now at peace forever

Take my sins away
Take it all away

So look within – There's nothing inside
Beneath it all - Nothing but lies

I've been washed - Now I'm clean
I was blind but now I see

So take these words
Put your trust in me
Give me your eyes
And I’ll help you to see

And you’ll walk
Endless miles in haze
Clouded by hate
Fallen from grace
