Stricken

Lyrics: Dan Donegan/David Draiman/Mike Wengren Music: Dan Donegan/David Draiman/Mike Wengren Producer: Dan Donegan/David Draiman/Johnny K/Mike Wengren
You walk on like a woman in suffering Won't even bother now to tell me why You come alone, letting all of us savor the moment Leaving me broken another time You come on like a bloodstained hurricane Leave me alone, let me be this time You carry on like a holy man pushing redemption I don't want to mention, the reason I know That I am stricken and can't let you go When the heart is cold, there's no hope, and we know That I am crippled by all that you've done Into the abyss will I run You don't know what your power has done to me I want to know if I'll heal inside I can't go on with a holocaust about to happen Seeing you laughing another time You'll never know how your face has haunted me My very soul has to bleed this time Another hole in the wall of my inner defenses Leaving me breathless, the reason I know That I am stricken and can't let you go When the heart is cold, there's no hope, and we know That I am crippled by all that you've done Into the abyss will I run Into the abyss will I run You walk on like a woman in suffering Won't even bother now to tell me why You come alone, letting all of us savor the moment Leaving me broken another time You come on like a bloodstained hurricane Leave me alone, let me be this time You carry on like a holy man pushing redemption I don't want to mention, the reason I know That I am stricken and can't let you go When the heart is cold, there's no hope, and we know That I am crippled by all that you've done Into the abyss will I run Into the abyss will I run I can't let you go Yes I am stricken and can't let you go Drums: Mike Wengren Bass Guitar: John Moyer Guitar: Dan Donegan Mixing Assistant: Paul Pavao Mixing Engineer: Ben Grosse Lead Vocals: David Draiman Backing Vocals: John Moyer
