COLD PRAYER

MAAT - COLD PRAYER

Intro

They say God listens...

Then why does He answer with an echo?

Hook

My prayers are cold like a stone at the bottom of the river,

I send them up, and they come back with nothing.

My prayers are cold, cause my heart don't believe no more,

That someone up there still belongs to me.

Verse 1

I kneel not from faith, I kneel cause my legs won't carry me,

Heaven locked with a padlock, keys thrown away long ago.

They said "pray and you will be saved",

I prayed and I was left alone, forgotten.

Every "amen" is a stone sinking deeper,

Every "please" is an echo coming back quieter.

I don't want heaven, I don't want hell, I just want an answer,

Why silence hurts louder than all Your promises.

Hook

My prayers are cold like a stone at the bottom of the river,

I send them up, and they come back with nothing.

My prayers are cold, cause my heart don't believe no more,

That someone up there still belongs to me.

Verse 2

Prayer - carved on a bench in an empty church,

The last one left when everyone else was gone.

If you don't hear me now, you never will,

Cause my lips will close forever, like the books.

Cold prayer, last in line to heaven,

No address, no stamp, no hope, no heaven.

With nothing... with nothing...
