The anger swells like rising tides
Like two lost souls that soon collide
Tonight I witness all the angels throw
All of their stones down on me
 
The constant thorn that's in my flesh
Was solely placed and laid to rest
All that I am is all that you made
So you blaspheme me in your holy place
 
Ever so slowly the stranger [bad word] me
Oh ever so slowly I surrender blindly
Oh why am I forsaken?
My heart was forsaken
 
This broken man was fueled by rage
Through endless time he suffered pain
As all the stars light up the sky
My love remains dark in my eye
 
I felt the war, I fought alone
I sought mercy within your home
I was turned away, petition denied
I had no friends for this heart to confide
 
Ever so slowly the stranger [bad word] me
Oh ever so slowly I surrender blindly
Oh why am I forsaken?
My heart was forsaken
