Drunkards Prayer Lyrics

Drunkards Prayer lyrics

Tonight I'll say the drunkard's prayer

Down the hatch and drown myself to sleep

I'll close my eyes and stumble round 

And fall down on my knees 

I'll raise the glass

As it raises me

I'll say a prayer

A prayer for release

Shame acts like a mirror 

And reflects all I see

There's blood in this whiskey

It works its charm on me



I'll hold the glass

As it holds me

I'll say a prayer

Prayer for release



I catalog the nameless sins 

And ask for my forgiveness

All I see is my mother's face

And my father's blind contrition



I'll lift the glass

As it lifts me

I'll say a prayer

A prayer for release



All I want is the devil's due

Cast me out among my inventions

I'll tell the tale that's been told

And live with my suspicions



I'll raise the glass 

As it raises me

I'll say a prayer

A prayer for release
