Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer That calls me from a world of care And bids me at my Father's throne Make all my wants and wishes known In seasons of distress and grief My soul has often found relief And oft escaped the tempter's snare By Thy return, sweet hour of prayer Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer The joys I feel, the bliss I share Of those whose anxious spirits burn With strong desires for Thy return With such I hasten to the place Where God my Savior shows His face And gladly take my station there And wait for Thee, sweet hour of prayer Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer And wait for Thee, sweet hour of prayer

The hour of reckoning draws near Judgment day is here and gone Sweetly, she draws me into her arms A liquid embrace to chase the day away Sedate, numb, deaf and dumb Stumbling into solitude A clouded judgment day is fueled Take me under your black wings Mark my words and remember me So sweetly she sucks away at my time So sweetly she draws me nigh Closer and closer towards never ending sleep Spin the bottle Kiss only the bottle The dark mistress of many, beholden to none Slips a ring of needles around your arm in an engagement Eternal engagement Never consummated Never consummated Take me under your black wings Mark my words and remember me Destroyer of senses So take as needed for the pain Another gray morning dawns across an ashen sky My sweet demoness beckons me Ever again and again and again and again The dark mistress of many, beholden to none My sweet demoness Beckons me ever again and again and again and again Take me under your black wings Jacked up on the taste of self-destruction
