To Lay in the Darkness
When I try to go to sleep
in the darkness, I lay
Will my soul the devil reap
Because to no God do I pray?
Do you want to be in heaven forever?
That’s a long, long time
To do the same thing over and over
Would be a horrid crime
After all the pain on earth
That I have endured
Then once I’m dead
My pain, they will secure
Stop this torment now
If you can by all means
Don’t you tell me how
I must take your stand unseen
Prove to me you are real
Don’t tell me I must believe
And give me your holy spiel
I think I have been deceived
My pain is beyond belief
Here I stand alone
Enduring constant grief
Hurting to the bone
