Lyrics Prayer of the Prey - The Wise Man's Fear

Prayer of the Prey

I will not compete this way
I refuse to run your race
She feeds off all of the anguish and wrath
Of those who could not escape from her grasp
I wish you could see, yourself as I do
All these obstructions are tangled round you
I will not compete this way
I refuse to run your race
Turn and run, escape while you can
You’re just a part of her master plan
You’ve heard the stories and still decided not to heed
She promised you she’d be everything that you need
She was an angel or at least that’s what you believed
But when you turned your back you knew that you were deceived (x2)
I won’t.
Back down.
I will.
Hold my ground (x4)
(You were the world on my chest
Now that you’re gone I’ve got nothing left)
You’ve heard the stories and still decided not to heed
She promised you she’d be everything that you need
She was an angel or at least that’s what you believed
But when you turned your back you knew you were deceived (x2)
You’ve heard the stories and still decided not to heed (you heard the stories
She was an angel or at least that’s what you believed (you heard the stories x2)
Light fires, light fires thanks to your goodbyes
Let’s start new but start without you
I thought you might have been Better than this
But that ship has sailed and You will not be missed (x2)
