Don't Pray for Me (Live in Amsterdam)

Will all who wish to die please raise their hands!

 

I’m not 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…

 

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 it 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!

Oeh…

I’m going to let you 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!
