I Pray As I Prey

As I kneel before death
My silent heartbeat is all I hear
Condemned by my beliefs
Damnatio ad bestias

Force fed belief, no choice remains
Divine Inquisition
No tolerance for heresy
From sacrifice there is no way out
Crossing the world in this endless crusade
To purify all my sins and mistakes
Leaving behind the opponents remains

I pray as a prey
Father, defend me
Don't let this be my final breath

I pray as a prey
Father, welcome me
For I can't fend off all the beasts

My faith decays, no salvation
Tired of living, praying isn't worth the time
My sweet revenge, my legacy
In death I found a meaning to life

I share my last breath with thousands of others
And feel the joy of a whole lifetime
My brief moment with the divine

I pray as I prey
My god, they fear me
More than I fear you myself

I pray I prey
My god, witness me
My name shall reach posterity
