I saw an interview with David Draiman of Disturbed where he talked about this song, and that for him it was kind of like the story of Job. It’s a story of overcoming adversity, of perservering no matter what gets thrown your way. And for the week I had, and the way this one has started, let’s just say it fits.
Disturbed - “Prayer”
Another dream that will never come true just to complement your sorrow
Another life that I’ve taken from you
A gift to add on to your pain and suffering
Another truth you can never believe has crippled you completely
All the cries you’re beginning to fear
Trapped in your mind and the sound is deafening
Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray
Living just isn’t hard enough
Burn me alive inside
Living my life’s not hard enough
Take everything away
Another nightmare about to come true will manifest tomorrow
Another love that I’ve taken from you
Lost in time on the edge of suffering
Another taste of the evil I breed will level you completely
Bring to life everything that you fear
Live in the dark and the world is threatening
Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray
Living just isn’t hard enough
Burn me alive inside
Living my life’s not hard enough
Take everything away
Return to me, return to me, return to me
Turn to me, leave me no one
Turn to me, return to me, return to me
Turn to me, CAST ASIDE!
Return to me, return to me, return to me
Turn to me, leave me no one
Turn to me, return to me, return to me
You’ve made me turn away
Living just isn’t hard enough
Burn me alive inside
Living my life’s not hard enough
They take everything from you
Living just isn’t hard enough
Burn me alive inside
Living my life’s not hard enough
Take everything away
