I feel it coming,
I feel it drawing near,
The incarnation of eternal death.
I look up to the sky,
I look up for a light,
These eyes see nothing but the black.
Am I condemned?
I feel the presence of a sinner’s fate.
Crippled by fear,
I ask the question of ethereal hate.
I look back to the way it used to be,
Truth fades to a withered memory.
I look now to the one who said he’d stand beside me.
I don’t feel safe anymore,
Until you answer my call.
Slowly I drift into the black.
Hope is undone.
I held it in my hands but let it slip.
My death will come.
Will I ascend or pay the wage of sin?
The sacred sun
Has turned its face and I am on my knees.
Nowhere to run.
Please hear my voice as I cry out my final plea.
I’m defined by the thought that plagues my mind.
Settled into the hell that I’ve designed.
I’m defined by the thought that plagues my mind.
Settled into the hell that I’ve designed.
And when I die and I meet you at the gates,
Will you save my soul or will I fall from grace?
And when I die and I meet you at the gates,
Will you save my soul or will I fall from grace?
And when I die and I meet you at the gates,
Will you save my soul or will I fall from grace?
And when I die and I meet you at the gates,
Will you save my soul or will I fall from grace?

This fear that’s buried at the core,
Has grown too strong for me to ignore.
From what I love I cut the ties.
My life dictated from believing a lie.
As I search for clarity
The silence brings me misery.
I cannot breathe.
Stripped of sanctity.
I’m crippled by this gravity.
Invisible adversary.
My mind has now become my enemy.
Their heads were buried in the sands.
They could not see for they did not understand
The demons locked away inside.
Draining the soul and confusing the mind.
My faith is hanging by a thread.
The devil twists the truth and pulls me under.
As I search for clarity
The silence brings me misery.
I cannot breathe.
Stripped of sanctity.
I’m crippled by this gravity.
Invisible adversary.
My mind has now become my enemy.
Real life, lost its way.
Apparition, take your shape.
Alone,
Paranoid creation.
The pull of the tides
Drags me into fear of life.
Begging for a light.
In the silence I am blind.
If only I could hear your voice.
If only I knew where to run.
The only way to find rebirth.
Is to die to the sun.

The darkness starts to fade.
I see the sun as winter slips away.
The puzzle takes its shape.
As clarity unveils.
Heart begins to feel
The ever-flowing stream of life.
Spirit starts to heal,
Awakening the uncontrived.
Alive, world before my eyes;
A weight no longer mine.
The sky divides to form a sign.
I see your face in its light.
An angel drifts into my life
Illuminates the sky.
A reason to feel alive.
My hands have touched the sky,
It took my hand and led me to the light,
The essence cleared my mind,
And darkness passed me by.
Thorn in my side remains
But there is peace in coalescence
Between the light and shade.
Take this life and walk with me.
Alive, world before my eyes;
A weight no longer mine.
The sky divides to form a sign.
I see your face in its light.
An angel drifts into my life
Illuminates the sky.
I find my peace of mind.
I find my life under the sun.
