Stricken

You walk on like a woman in suffering

Won't even bother now, to tell me why

You come alone, letting all of us savor the moment

Leaving me broken, another time

You come on like a blood stained hurricane

Leave me alone, let me be this time

You carry on like a holy man pushing redemption

I don't want to mention, the reason I know

That I am stricken and can't let you go

When the heart is cold, there's no hope and we know

That I am crippled by all that you've done

Into the abyss will I run

You don't know what your power has done to me

I want to know if I'll heal inside

I can't go on, with a holocaust about to happen

Seeing you laughing another time

You'll never know why your face has haunted me

My very soul has to bleed this time

Another hole in the wall of my inner defenses

Leaving me breathless, the reason I know

That I am stricken and can't let you go

When the heart is cold, there's no hope and we know

That I am crippled by all that you've done

Into the abyss will I run, into the abyss will I run

You walk on like a woman in suffering

Won't even bother now to tell me why

You come alone, letting all of us savor the moment

Leaving me broken, another time

You come on like a blood stained hurricane

Leave me alone, let me be this time

You carry on like a holy man pushing redemption

Don't want to mention the reason I know

That I am stricken and can't let you go

When the heart is cold there's no hope and we know

That I am crippled by all that you've done

Into the abyss will I run, into the abyss will I run

I can't let you go

Yes I am stricken and can't let you go
