In the dead of the night Life flashes before my eyes I'm paralyzed as my darkest hour arrives A cruel reminder of what I left behind I'm plagued by the memories long forgotten Brace for the swarm The levee is open Memories overflow They're flooding my mind They rise from below Can't take anymore Pray for the mercy of my soul The raven is calling tonight Guilt is the hunger in us all Killing me from the inside Now I am haunted with all the guilt of my mistakes Caught in a whirlwind of all the sins of yesterday I see their faces No I can't take it This can't go on anymore Enough is enough Is this what I need An epileptic episode that rips through my veins Is this what it takes to feel something again Taking the first step toward repentance But the nightmares are hard to forget Pray for the mercy of my soul The raven is calling tonight Guilt is the hunger in us all Killing me from the inside out With life on fast-forward This is my defeat The cries of apologies you'll never see I'm gasping for air They're consuming me And it's killing me from the inside out Killing me from the inside out Killing me from the inside
