Hopes and Prayers
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[instrumental]

It will never happen
At least, never to me 
It does not seem real
It is not what I see

These horrors that I hear
These things you say to me
They are not what I fear
They're not my reality

[instrumental]

My life is quite enough
I never get a rest
Every day I must move on
Each day is a new test

I can not stop to think
I can not take the stress
There's rats in the sink
And the yard is a mess

[instrumental]

If I was to die
It would be a relief
There is no need to cry
I have no belief

When you talk about others
When death is far away
You know that I have hopes
Let them know that I will pray

[instrumental]

When you talk about others
When death is far away
You know that I have hopes
Let them know that I will pray

[instrumental]
[loud]
!AAAAAAAAALLL   RIIIIGHT!!!

Don't give a damn about others
Death is never far away
I never had a hope
And, sure as hell, won't pray

Nooo, I won't pray

Nooo, I won't pray


[screeching guitars]
[heavy drums]
[instrumental]
[outro]

Don't give a damn about others
Death is never far away
I never had a hope
And, sure as hell, won't pray

Nooo, I won't pray

[guitar outro]
