Let It In - Hiraeth Lyrics

Run for your life

You never know the value of a moment
Until it becomes a memory
Footprints in the sands of time
Thinking back to when you were free
A broken home left you broken hearted
Ran away from your family
Lost and cold, you were on your own
When the bastard took you off the streets

This is a prayer for survival

Scratching, screaming, crying, bleeding
Hands are shaking, heavy breathing
Suicidal thoughts invading
Everything in sight is fading
Sadistic exploitation
Agony and violation
Everything in sight is fading
Everything in sight is fading

She was sold for her weight in fools gold
(She was sold)
She was sold for her weight in fools gold
(She was sold)

Black sheep fell into a trap of greed
Captive to those who prey on vulnerability
She begs for mercy
Every hour is her darkest hour
Her eyes are now beginning to adjust

You sleep with one eye open
When you live between the devil and the deep blue sea

I'd rather sell my soul than sell another
You know she'll end up dead in a body bag
She's so cold her eyes are losing the color
And it's beginning to feel like this will never end
Give her poison
So she comes back for more
And begs you for it
Bed after bed shes growing
More lethargic
And every night is a painful trip to hell

(You never know the) value of a moment
Until it becomes a memory
Footprints in the sands of time
Thinking back to when you were free
She misses a love that she never had in the first place
Her spirit is broken

Now she's
Scratching, screaming, crying, bleeding
Hands are shaking, heavy breathing
Suicidal thoughts invading
Everything in sight is fading
Sadistic exploitation
Agony and violation
Everything in sight is fading
Everything in sight is fading

She was sold for her weight in fools gold
(She was sold)
She was sold for her weight in fools gold
(She was sold)

As the door creaks open
Fear takes over
Death is walking toward her

Oh, face down on a bed of nails
His cold touch burns like fire
This is beyond the pale
"Deliver me from evil" she cried to the heavens
But the angels have gone deaf
A tragic concept
And it's beginning to feel like this is endless
She needs a miracle
She needs a godsend
Damnation to the spirit breakers

You sleep with one eye open
When you live between the devil and the deep blue sea

I'd rather sell my soul than sell another
You know she'll end up dead in a body bag
She's so cold her eyes are losing the color
And it's beginning to feel like this will never end
Back to the bottle
Back to the pills
Back to the needle
So you can't feel
This heart has become so heavy
It could sink a ship

(Let judgment fall)
Only divine intervention could end her evanescence
(On the blasphemous fiends)
She wears a crown of thorns, she was baptized in fire
