The anger swells like rising tides
Like two lost souls that soon collide
Tonight I witness all the angels throw
All of their stones down on me

The constant thorn that's in my flesh
Was solely placed and laid to rest
All that I am is all that you made
So you blaspheme me in your holy place

Ever so slowly the stranger becomes me
Oh ever so slowly I surrender blindly
Oh why am I forsaken?
My heart was forsaken

This broken man was fueled by rage
Through endless time he suffered pain
As all the stars light up the sky
My love remains dark in my eye

I felt the war, I fought alone
I sought mercy within your home
I was turned away, petition denied
I had no friends for this heart to confide

Ever so slowly the stranger becomes me
Oh ever so slowly I surrender blindly
Oh why am I forsaken?
My heart was forsaken
