Prayer Lyrics

Cover art for Prayer lyrics by Disturbed

Another dream that will never come true Just to compliment your sorrow Another life that I've taken from you A gift to add on to your pain and suffering Another truth you can never believe Has crippled you completely All the cries you're beginning to hear Trapped in your mind, and the sound is deafening

This part is supposed to be God talking to David. Its either supposed to be God laughing at David telling him basically that everything he does has no meaning and never will. It could also be David singing Irony.

Let me enlighten you This is the way I pray

(Chorus) Living just isn't hard enough Burn me alive, inside Living my life’s not hard enough Take everything away

This is Davids response to God: Basically David is saying hey, living still is not hard enough...so burn me alive inside, and take everything away but eventually I will prevail. Basically another way to put this is David is saying to God: THROW all you got at me cause I will continue on anyways.

Another nightmare about to come true Will manifest tomorrow Another love that I've taken from you Lost in time, on the edge of suffering Another taste of the evil i breed Will level you completely Bring to life everything that you fear Live in the dark, and the world is threatening

This could be tooken as God showing David what its going to be like if he denies God. God is saying well, I will take away your love, make you suffer, and will level you completly...basically lay David to nothing...is the intention I get by it saying level.

Let me enlighten you This is the way I pray

This basically goes back to David saying it dont matter, this is the way im going to continue to do things rather you like it or not.

Return to me Return to me Return to me Turn to me Leave me no one Turn to me Return to me Return to me Turn to me cast aside

Return to me Return to me Return to me Turn to me Leave me no one Turn to me Return to me Return to me You've made me turn away

The first part where it says return to me is more then likely supposed to be God being upset and trying to tell David to return to him and believe. When it switches to TURN to me..then it is David saying you already did what you did, and before David returns to God, God has to turn to David and help him out as well...kind of like a ballance.
