Stolen Prayer

I walk these streets alone
Shadows hide my face
My sins are etched in stone, never to erase
My fears unshakeable, if I could believe
I'd trade these wings of gold
For what I really need
I fought the fires of love
Burned them to my soul
Scarred from the flames of hope
My mask is made of stone
I'm not invincible, but I want to believe
That you're convinceable
I pray that you will be

Take the word and pass it on
I'm tired of preaching
Take the angel from the thorns
Untie the wings of gold
Until I'm in the right of way
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken in a stolen prayer

I dreamed of different times
And tried to find my way
O-o-o oh all the darkest lies
Cloud my world today i'm not unbreakable
Although I might pretend
It's not unthinkable that I could feel again

Take the word and pass it on
I'm tired of preaching
Take the angel from the thorns
Untie these golden wings
Until I'm in the right of way
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken in a stolen prayer

You steal another minute from my life
You cut a little deeper with your knife
You steal a little breath from my air
