lyrics

Woman...
I gotta try
Try to explain how things got so bad
I was somewhere
Down on the street
But when I got back to the camp I found all my homies had been killed

So now...
I'm walking
Alone in the valley of death... I'm crossing My darkest fear... Misery...

Woman...
I gotta find
Find a way to tell ya how things got me to change my mind
Somehow
I have been wrong
With all the pieces of ya ya killed for me I made a gun

Woman...
All I could say :
Want it, take it, break it... Murdering your every breath
Someday
I chose to fight
With no father, with no beliefs, with no country I became a man

So now...
I'm walking
Alone in the valley of death... I'm falling... Down on my knees... Misery...
Please chain my hands
As a prayer can chain a man

Remembering back in the days is the insight
Of a young man that lied and stole so many times to get high
Several things I could have done to avoid that :
Respect it, give it, protect it... And be all right !
If I could go back in time before that one night
My two hands around your neck, so I could hear no more your prayers... My Killing hands, fighting against, smashing a beautiful woman's face again, Takin' me to the family / Takin' me to the bloody / Takin'me to the guilt
And I'm feeling back...
Home !

I'm drowning...
In your eyes again
Misery please break my hands
As a prayer can break a man

O... Woman...
Do you think a prayer can reveal a man to himself ?
Woman...
Cause now I know my life's always been in your hands...
