Crestfallen Anathema

[Verse 1]
I cry a tear of hope but it is lost in helplessness
The darkness eats away at the very embers of my soul
For the deepest love I had has dissolved before my eyes
My sorrow is bleak I beg for deliverance

[Chorus]
Lord in your mercy hear my prayer

[verse 2]
All emotion is consumed by an inner silence
All grief is unassuaged by disconsulate tears
I want for nothing I live for nothing
I am waiting to die but I am afraid of dying

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Crestfallen emotion
Wallowing in guilt
And drowning for evermore

[Verse 4]
Falling deeper into fear
My inner self is now
A sleeper of stone
