Lord, if you don't help me I can't get through this
I can't
Lord, I'm too old for games
Foolish wisdom

And I'm tired of rhetoric, meaningless rhetoric that never changes things
Lord, just help me
Just help me

I was feeling God's pain and I've never had anything that's been any worse to god
In my fifty years that wasn't born in agony, never, never
Damn empty

And I know that simons won't do it
I know that revelation won't do it
Comedies won't do it
I know now, oh my god do I know it

Until I'm in agony,
Until I'm in anguish over it,
I'm preaching sermons
Oh God

I broke down and I wept and I mourned
Does it matter to you at all?
I can't handle this
I can barely make it into here

Little by little you're losing me, you're almost caught
Love with Christ
People I know that were my friends
I've seen them go one by one, some of my closest friends

You're changing from what you were
You're changing
Little by little somethings happening to you

Will he bring you to your knees?
That's all the devil wants to do take the fight out of you, and kill it
So you won't in prayer anymore
So you won't weep before God anymore
Go to HELL
No weeping, not one prayer, still nothing
This is life and death
And the walls go down and ruin sets in

Where's the tears?
Where's the mourning?
Where's the confessing?
The love of Christ

I had to get the agony of gods heart
We...have sinned

    Lyric Correction:Some lyrical corrections:

    Lord, if you don't help me, I can't get through this.
    I can't.
    Lord, I'm too old for games... foolishness
    And I'm tired of rhetoric. Meaningless rhetoric.
    It never changes things.
    Lord... please help me.
    Help me...

    I was stealing God's PRAISE!
    and I've never had anything that's been any worth to God,
    in my 50 years that wasn't born in agony.
    Never. Never.
    Dead, empty.
    And I know that sermons won't do it.
    I know that a new revelation won't do it.
    Covenant won't do it.
    I know now... Oh my God do I know it.
    Until I lie in agony.
    Until I have been anguished over it.
    I'm preaching sermons... Oh God...

    I broke down
    and I wept
    and I mourned.
    Does that matter to you at all?
    I can't handle this.
    I can barely make it as it is.

    Little by little you're losing
    the love of God...
    the love of Christ...
    People I know of that were my friends and I see them go one by one.
    Some of my closest friends.

    You're changing.
    You know what you were.
    You're changing.
    Little by little, something's happening to you.
    Would it bring you to your knees?
    That's all the Devil wants to do
    Get the fight out of you and kill it.
    So you won't labor in prayer anymore.
    You won't weep before God anymore.

    GO TO HELL!

    No weeping?
    Not a word of prayer?
    It's all ruined.
    No laughing.
    This isn't life and death.

    When the walls go down, and ruin sets in...
    Where are the tears?
    Where's the mourning?
    Where's the confessing?
    Love of Christ.. the agony of God's heart...
    We have sinned.

    General Comment:First of all; why doesn't people seem to like Evergrey? They're freaking hot!
    I think this song is about how people are staring to change inte cold selfcentered people, that no longer cares about their fellow man.
