She kneels beneath the dying skies A rosary of lies in hand Her lips betray her whispered cries Like ashes drawn into the sand She swore that love could bleed and bloom But angels sleep in shallow tombs And every tear she hides Is just a blade in disguise Thorns in her prayer Wounds in the shape of goodbye She walks the night in chains A shadow marked by flames Oh, love was never fair Just thorns in her prayer The mirror shows her other face A ghost in velvet dress, drenched in grace She sings to walls that never fall Her voice a curse, her faith too small She begged the Moon to let him go But silence is the only vow she knows And every tear she hides Is just a blade in disguise Thorns in her prayer Wounds in the shape of goodbye She walks the night in chains A shadow marked by flames Oh, love was never fair Just thorns in her prayer Even the dark won't speak her name Even the stars forget her flame She lit the world to feel the fire But burned alone in her desire And every tear she hides Still cuts where hope once died Thorns in her prayer Echoes that heaven denied She walks the night in chains A hymn for endless pain Oh, love was never fair Just thorns in her prayer
