Tonight I`ll say the drunkard`s prayer
Down the hatch and drown myself to sleep
I`ll close my eyes and stumble round
And fall down on my knees
I`ll raise the glass
As it raises me
I`ll say a prayer
A prayer for release
Shame acts like a mirror
And reflects all I see
There`s blood in this whiskey
It works its charm on me
I`ll hold the glass
As it holds me
I`ll say a prayer
Prayer for release
I catalog the nameless sins
And ask for my forgiveness
All I see is my mother`s face
And my father`s blind contrition
I`ll lift the glass
As it lifts me
I`ll say a prayer
A prayer for release
All I want is the devil`s due
Cast me out among my inventions
I`ll tell the tale that`s been told
And live with my suspicions
I`ll raise the glass
As it raises me
I`ll say a prayer
A prayer for release
