Beneath these skies of dissolute gray
I feel as though I withered away
And here I am, down on my knees
Begging my Lord, Forgiveness please
And Satan is still close at my feet
I'm trying my best not to fleet
Sleeping doesn't come like it did before
And all my friends aren't my friends anymore
I won't let them get to me, the Lord has made me strong
And I know now it won't last for long
All my suffering and all my pain
It'll all go away and there will be no rain
Beneath these skies of dissolute gray
I have a love inside me they can't take away.
