Stolen Prayer — текст песни (Chris Cornell)

Stolen prayer - the last temptation, 1994



I walk the streets alone

On feeble bones I ride

My sins are etched in stone

I got no place to hide

Well, I was unshakable

In what I did believe

I feel so breakable

But have I been deceived



You showed me your paradise

And your carnival of souls

But my heart keeps telling me

That aint the place to go

Well, Im not invincible

So I want you to leave

Well, Im so convincible

But have I been deceived



I take your words and try them on

Yeah, its a perfect fit, boy

You tell me one size fits us all

Yeah, like an old straightjacket

Well, tell me why Im so afraid

All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

In a stolen prayer



I remember yesterday

When things were black and white

Never thought Id get confused

On what was wrong and right

Well, Im not unbreakable

With armor on my skin

Well, its not unthinkable

I could be fooled again



I take your words and try them on

Yeah, its a perfect fit, boy

You tell me one size fits us all

Yeah, like an old straightjacket

Well, tell me why Im so afraid

All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

In a stolen prayer



You steal another minute from my life

You cut a little deeper with your knife

You steal a little breath from my air

And you dont care

And even though Im chokin

All my words are spoken



I take your words and try them on

Yeah, its a perfect fit, boy

You tell me one size fits us all

Yeah, like an old straightjacket

Take this world and try it on

Man, youre lookin good boy

Stick your neck out on the block

So you wont miss nothing

Stretch your finger, grab your hair

Dont you feel like screaming

Feel the blood rush from your veins

Now youre a perfect zombie

Now Im on my knees



All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

In a stolen prayer
