Drunkards Prayer lyrics

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
