Anathema Crestfallen song lyrics

I cry a tear of hate but it is lost in helplessness.

The darkness eats away at the very embers of my soul

For the deepest love I have has dissolved before my eyes.

My sorrow is bleak, I beg for deliverance.

Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer.

All emotion is consumed by an inner silence.

All grief is unassuaged by disconsolate tears.

I want for nothing, I live for nothing.

I am waiting to die, but I am afraid dying.

Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer.

Crestfallen emotion.

Wallowing in guilt trying

and drowning forevermore.

Falling deeper into fear.

My inner self is now

a sleeper of stone.
