Scars Speak Louder Than Prayers

I don’t kneel, I don’t confess, These marks on my skin say more than the rest. Every cut’s a hymn, every burn’s a psalm, Scars don’t beg, they just keep calm.

(Male) Scars speak louder than prayers, (Female) They testify in smoke-filled air. (Together) No angel listens, no devil cares, But scars speak louder than prayers.

(Male) I’ve seen the pews stained red with lies, (Female) I’ve heard the truth in broken cries. (Male) The preacher spoke, but his hands were foul, (Female) I trust the scars, not the man nor the cowl.

(Male) Scars speak louder than prayers, (Female) They tell the world you’ve paid your share. (Together) No heaven waiting, no soul repair, But scars speak louder than prayers.

(Female) The wounds don’t fade, they carry through, They’re louder than the words you choose. (Male – whispered echo) Every scar, a truth I wear… (Female – rising) They cry the things you wouldn’t dare.

(Male) Scars speak louder than prayers, (Female) They burn through silence, they strip you bare. (Together) No angel listens, no devil cares, But scars speak louder than prayers.
