lyrics

LONG DARK NIGHT

Hail Mary, full of grace
Be my muse
And give me strength
Holy Mary, full of sin
Hear my prayer
And let me in

Welcome to my long dark night
Can't sleep
Or close my eyes
Little slices of death
I loathe them
Refuse to get to know them
My rebirth of a scream
Eternalux
With a heart at peace
O Lord have mercy
Till it hurts
Heed my words

This revelation
Won't be televised
My sacrifice will be
This long dark night
This revelation
Won't be televised
My sacrifice will be
This long dark night
Of the soul

Blessed is the one who reads
These words of prophecy
Heavy is the hand that smites
In God we trust and fight
We rise from the dead
And write our own new testament
O Lord have mercy
I'm in mourning
Heed my warning

This revelation
Won't be televised
My sacrifice will be
This long dark night
This revelation won't be televised
My sacrifice will be
This long dark night
Of the soul

This, my winter of discontent
Listen as I repent
Bleed for me
On this night long
Hear me as I
Speak in tongues
Blasphemy is so easy
When you've lost your faith
And don't believe
Help me heal my mind
This happens every time
Hands out wide
I say to you
Praise my scars
And sacred wounds
Feel my pain
And scripture inked in paint
I'm no saint

This revelation
Won't be televised
This revelation
Won't be televised
This revelation
Won't be televised
This revelation
Won't be televised
On this long dark night
Of my soul

I wish the 90s nu-metal was more often like this! There were a lot of worse bands stealing all the attention and making the concept of rap metal seem lame, while Manhole would have good stuff like this. Tairrie's vocals are awesome. RidgeForest
