Prayer for the Afflicted

We hear a prayer for the brighter morrow
It's hard to take thru all the laughter
We don't believe in tomorrow
It's just another morning after

[Whsipered]
I need you far away from me
I want you closer to me
I need you far away from me
I want you closer to me
[Whsipered]

We take a stand and we're standing tall
But only three of us crawl away
Never get old nor would we fall
But only two of us saw yesterday

I never thought it would get this far, oh no
Wherever you are, I won't follow
When the candles slowly die
I will say my last goodbye

I need you far away from me
I want you closer to me
I need you far away from me
I want you closer to me

Don't bother trying to save us
We don't need your prayers
Because we were the afflicted
I am restrained
And none of us walked away

I need you far away from me
I want you closer to me
I need you far away from me
I want you closer to me
