throwing words of stone
i will take my leave
push me out
no care allowed
drive me away, you're heartless
i waited for the blow
they have no faith in me

hate me for my heart
while i hate the lies
so true when told
my hope just folds
they all walk out
they all change their minds
this godless world
just leaves me cold
don't leave too
please change your mind

idols of yourselves
leave me in shadow
a grieving
offering
hiding pain in darkness
that can never be lov'ed
that will only be loathed

hate me for my heart
while i hate the lies
so true when told
my hope just folds
they all walk out
they all change their minds
this godless world
just leaves me cold
don't leave too
please change your mind

slowly aging
empty are my arms
so long i wait
yet never you are

hate me for my heart
while i hate the lies
so true when told
my hope just folds
they all walk out
they all change their minds
this godless world
just leaves me cold
don't leave too
please change your mind
