Litany For the Faithful - The Mission

Litany For the Faithful - The Mission
I've sang you songs of
Candlelight and razor blades
I've sang you songs of being
Loved and betrayed
I've sang you songs
Of redemption and righteous crusade
I've sang you songs that made
You laugh and made you cry
I've sang the blues and
I've sang you lullabies
I've sang you songs of flaming
One night stands and long goodbyes
I've sang you songs
That rejoice and celebrate
I've sang of love by design and by fate
I've sang you songs of ache and lust
And appetites to sate
But I can't bring myself to sing
But I can't bring myself to sing
Of ever leaving you
I've sang you songs of the holy and divine
I've sang you songs of devils and cheap wine
I've sang you songs of fawning
Courtesans and concubines
I've sang you songs of sadness and of pain
I've sang you songs of the needle and the vein
I've sang the songs of the tears
Washed away by the rain
I've sang the songs of loss of grief and despair
I've sang the songs of destruction and repair
I've sang you songs of
Hope belief and faith in prayer
But I can't bring myself to sing
But I can't bring myself to sing
Of ever leaving you
I've sang you songs of birth and of death
I've sang you songs of air and of breath
I've given you songs born of
Coc*ine and crystal meth
I've sang the songs of ageing ruin and decay
I've sang you songs of the hunter and his prey
I've sang the songs of
Disenchantment fear and dismay
I've sang you songs of blame and accusation
I've sang you songs of shame and recrimination
I've sang you songs of
Regret guilt penance and salvation
But I can't bring myself to sing
But I can't bring myself to sing
Of ever leaving you
I've sang you songs the words
Of others and made you believe they're mine
I've sang the songs of
Heaven of Gods and stars that shine
I've sang you songs that have touched you
Sent shivers down your spine
I've sang the songs that made your heart sing
That made you feel like a bird on the wing
That made you soar and sometimes roar
I made you sing
But I can't bring myself to sing
But I can't bring myself to sing
Of ever leaving you
Of ever leaving you
Of ever leaving you
Of ever leaving
