Crestfallen Lyrics - The Crestfallen - Anathema

I cry a tear of hope but it is lost in helplessness 

The darkness eats away at the very embers of my soul 

For the deepest love I had has dissolved before my eyes 

My sorrow is bleak, I beg for deliverance 

Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer 

All emotion is consumed by an inner silence 

All grief is assuaged by disconsolate tears 

I want for nothing, I live for nothing 

I am waiting to die but I am afraid of dying 

Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer 

Crestfallen emotion 

Wallowing in guilt 

Drowning for evermore 

Falling deeper into fear 

My inner self is now 

a sleeper of stone 

Help me
