Forgive Me

My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?
Can You see me bleeding?
Feels like the weight of the world is on my shoulders.
How long before the pain is over?

In the night I wonder, will it ever end?
They say scars heal, then why do mine refuse to mend?
Is it my personal disease,
That no one understands me?

Why, tell me why, what's wrong with me?
Drowning in a red sea.
It's made of my own blood.
Ruby tear drops rain down in a flood.

Each time the knife descends,
It's one step closer to the end.
No one sees the scars.
No one knows the darkness in my heart.

I walk through a desolate waste land.
I see shadows and I reach for them, begging them to take my hand.
But they laugh and taunt me as they disappear.
So far away and yet so near.

I can taste ashes in my mouth, bitter and vile.
Grey like the dust of murdered bodies, dumped on the landscape to defile.
Darkness is my companion.
Left alone and abandoned.

My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?
Can You hear my screams?
Return to me salvation, have You forgotten me?
Will You wipe away the tears and misery?

Have You forgotten my name, one of Your lost child who ran away?
Gone for so long, will You remember me or is it too late?
My God, my God, forgive me.
Deliver my soul from it's bloody slavery.
