lyrics

She wakes up in a hospital bed, the nurses whispering that her father is gone
He took his life, and
There's a woman, visiting her unit, she is dressed in all black
A fashion fit for someone's funeral bed
"Are you good?"
The orphan turns away, the woman tilts her head slightly
As she begins to pray

Father, Mother, Holy spirit, may I
Have this moment, please tell me that I am still alive
And when I'm gone, will I live on?
Give me a sign, cause I saw nothing
On the other side
Nothing, nothing, nothing
On the other side
Holy spirit, may I?

"I wish that I was dead", she said looking at her, an apathetic mess
Her eyes staring through her
"I know the feeling kid," a glimpse of cuts on her wrist, the orphan looks away
Her eyes beginning to mist
She looks at her again, "Can I say a prayer?"
The only thing she knew
The only thing she learned to see
There's a God above, who doesn't care for you, there's a God above us all
And he won't tell us the truth

Father, Mother, Holy spirit, may I
Have this moment, please tell me that I am still alive
And when I'm gone, will I live on?
Give me a sign, cause I saw nothing
On the other side
Nothing, nothing, nothing
On the other side
Holy spirit, may I?

Is there heaven when we die? Cause I no longer want to be here
In this hell, this hell, we call Earth
Is this purgatory, or am I going insane? To want death over all, to want to end this pain
Alone and outcast, I no longer know my name
When the spirits take me, I will no longer be afraid
I will no longer be afraid

Father, Mother, may I
May I die?
Father, Mother, may I

And when I'm gone, will I live on?
Give me a sign, cause I saw nothing
On the other side
Nothing, nothing, nothing
On the other side
Holy spirit, may I die?

After a silence passed, the woman glanced at her
"I know who killed your Father. I know he can be avenged"
There's a God above, who doesn't care for you
But there are Gods among us, and they won't tell us the truth
