Lyrics

Prey

Rolled your eyes and somehow waxed poetic

About the stations of the cross

This is my blood and suffer little children

To be victims of your vice at any cost

Quiet now the news is always moving faster

And they’re sure to live it down

While behind closed eyes the sheep are screaming so damn loud

But everybody’s bored with the sound

As they prey on the meek who just pray to be free

As they prey on the meek who pray to be free, but never will be

Hollow lives shed burning tears from misread eyes

Passed down though out all these bitter years

Of silence that screams from tiny souls

That grow up into broken hearts afraid of letting go
