Deus meus, ut quid dereliquisti me?
Deus meus, ut quid dereliquisti me

I've been trying hard to still believe
Preaching salvation every night
But faith grows fragile when you bleed
And all that's left is fading light

I tried to see, I tried to understand
My innocence was lost in your name
But every prayer I sent above
Came falling back in shame

Where were you when I was pleading?
Where were you when I was grieving?
I'm still waiting for an answer as I fall
I'm losing faith, were you there at all?

I let your word define my soul
I tried to hide my every scar
But saints and children wither
And heaven's light feels so far

You said you'd guide your chosen ones
But left us without warning
If you're there, then tell me why
You never heard my calling

Nowhere
Where were you when I was pleading?
Nowhere
Where were you when I was grieving?

I'm still waiting for an answer as I fall
I'm losing faith, were you ever there at all?

Where were you when they were taken?
Where was justice on your throne?
If your love is never shaken
Why are we left here alone?

Deus meus, ut quid dereliquisti me?

If silence is your only answer
Must I suffer here forevermore?

Nowhere
Where were you when I was pleading?
Where were you when I was grieving?

I'm still waiting for an answer as I fall
I'm losing faith, were you ever there at all?
I'm still waiting for an answer as I fall
I'm losing faith, were you ever there at all?
Were you ever there at all?
