Thorns in Her Prayer

She kneels beneath the dying skies
A rosary of lies in hand
Her lips betray her whispered cries
Like ashes drawn into the sand

She swore that love could bleed and bloom
But angels sleep in shallow tombs

And every tear she hides
Is just a blade in disguise
Thorns in her prayer
Wounds in the shape of goodbye
She walks the night in chains
A shadow marked by flames
Oh, love was never fair
Just thorns in her prayer

The mirror shows her other face
A ghost in velvet dress, drenched in grace
She sings to walls that never fall
Her voice a curse, her faith too small

She begged the Moon to let him go
But silence is the only vow she knows

And every tear she hides
Is just a blade in disguise
Thorns in her prayer
Wounds in the shape of goodbye
She walks the night in chains
A shadow marked by flames
Oh, love was never fair
Just thorns in her prayer

Even the dark won't speak her name
Even the stars forget her flame
She lit the world to feel the fire
But burned alone in her desire

And every tear she hides
Still cuts where hope once died
Thorns in her prayer
Echoes that heaven denied
She walks the night in chains
A hymn for endless pain
Oh, love was never fair
Just thorns in her prayer
