Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Candles crowd my eyes Still the corners stay so black Every flame a little liar Every prayer just pulls me back Iron on my tongue Taste of war I never chose Wounds that look like silver flowers Thorns beneath the petals' glow [Chorus] Surrounded by light But I walk in the dark Hear every hymn Still I carry the mark I feel that intoxicating pain And I’m numb I’m numb again I try to forgive But the scars never rest I know I’ll never forget I know I’ll never forget (never forget) [Verse 2] Church bells choke the dawn Ringing names I used to say Armor hanging in the hallway Still remembers how you prayed Ghosts around the table Drinking from a broken grail Blessing every past betrayal Calling it a holy tale [Chorus] Surrounded by light But I walk in the dark Hear every hymn Still I carry the mark I feel that intoxicating pain And I’m numb I’m numb again I try to forgive But the scars never rest I know I’ll never forget I know I’ll never forget (never forget) [Bridge] [Harp and low choir enter] I laid your name on the altar stone Whispered peace in an ancient tongue But my hands still shake like a hunted drum Every time your shadow comes [Drums and guitars rise] So take your crown Take your sainted lies I’ll keep my rage Sharpened and alive [Chorus] Surrounded by light But I walk in the dark Hear every hymn Still I carry the mark I feel that intoxicating pain And I’m numb I’m numb again I try to forgive But the scars never rest I know I’ll never forget I know I’ll never forget (Never forgive, never forget)
