Afterimage - The Beggar

I need a moment of your time
To speak the word of God if you are feeling so inclined

This well is running dry
You can look down below
I gave you all my time and yet you'll never know
The writing's on the wall
Yeah
Let the curtain fall

Watched it as you said so
Holier than thou
Robbed me of a halo
As I'm buried in the ground
Why?

I'll pray not for your valor, your force, or your honor
Not for the treasures of your sons and daughters
For I've seen the sins that are tied to your name
For the blood that's been spilled just to die in your vain
To swim holy water and drown just the same
I'll pray for the crimes you've ignored in your name
And I'll pray for the love that's been lost for your gain
And I'll pray for the time that I've lost in your game

This well is running dry
You can look down below
I gave you my last dime and yet you'll never know
The writing's on the wall
Yeah
Let the curtain fall

Watched it as you said so
Holier than thou
Robbed me of a halo
As I'm buried in the ground
Why?

Watched it as you said so
(I'm paying for a lie)
Holier than thou
Robbed me of a halo
As I'm buried in the ground

Watched it as you said so
(I'm paying for a lie)
Holier than thou
Robbed me of a halo
As I'm buried in the ground

Watched it as you said so
(I'm paying for a lie)
Holier than thou
Robbed me of a halo
As I'm buried in the ground
