Lyrics / Prompt

Forty days and forty nights,
I'm in the desert, rollin' dice.
I pray to God in the name of Christ,
I pray The Lord would take my life.
My heart is broke, my body's tired.
I've lost my hope, it's all but died.
I forgot my name but that's alright,
Probably got consumed by my appetite.
I'm checking out, I'm giving up.
Just being alive, ain't living enough.
I punched my ticket, here comes my ride,
All the doors are suicide.
I pray to God in the name of Christ.
Lord, let me wake in paradise.
Forty days and forty nights,
I'm in the desert, rollin' dice.
I've lost my mind, I've lost the fight.
I've lost the will to live tonight.
I look to the Heavens but I get no answer.
The serpents hiss and the vultures gather.
The sands rise high and the shadows stretch long,
The echo of my heartbeat makes a solitary song.
My strength is gone and I drop to my knees.
Our Father who art in Heaven, help me please.
My stomach's hollow and the vultures are near,
I trust you, Lord. I have no fear.
They circle me as if I'm prey,
Forty nights in the desert, but The Lord makes a way.
Forty days and forty nights,
I'm in the desert, rollin' dice.
I've lost my mind, I've lost the fight.
I've lost the will to live tonight.
The silent winds blow sands in the air,
The night never ends, only shadows care.
The cactus arms reach toward the stars,
and the moonlight paints my faded scars.
The hunger gnaws and my stomach growls,
Demons whisper and temptation prowls.
That's when that old snake came and said,
If you're God's son, turn these stones to bread.
But man can't live by bread alone,
He needs the one who made flesh and bone.
Turn these stones to bread, the demons plea,
But man can't live by bread alone, not me.
I'm on top of the temple,
and I'm tempted to leap.
I pray to the Lord God, 
My soul to keep.
I'm on top of the mountain,
and I'm surrounded by snow.
The devil offers me the world,
And I say no.
Forty days and forty nights,
I prayed to God in the name of Christ.
Forty days and forty nights,
Life's a gamble like a pair of dice.
Forty days and forty nights,
I survived it like the Israelites.
Forty days and forty nights,
I'm gunna live to see paradise.
