holding
05:19
|
|||
suspended isolation
wax dripping on my hand
burning, burning, burning but I don't feel
cares of my life (stolen from my head)
shield me from strife (all of the tears I've shed)
holding, holding, holding me close to you
mercy overwhelming do I hide
shrouded by the darkness I abide
is it true your love will never die
is it true you radiate the night
I approached the chair
they say that no one sits there
but I see the eyes
of the one who has written life
holy, holy, holy the Risen King
holy, holy, no matter what you think

vexed
07:52
|

angry frustration
nagging laughing in my face
no one knows how it feels
no one's there when you need them most
haunting rage ties the ropes
that tempt me into violence
and I would like to scratch holes across my face
But you can keep your advice
I don't want your words of wisdom
I don't need them they won't help me
when I'm all alone and helpless,
a gentle hand is what I need
outspoken words just seem to feed
the rage that's nagging at my soul
don't say a word just take a hold
and finally help me realize
I'm still precious in His Eyes
hold my breath and then it's gone
what was wrong life in general
nothing extra nothing more
Jesus lead me through the door
that leads me out of this world into the next
out of my circumstances
but I have not left it I'm still here
or I'm forced to face my fears
so I can honestly offer
to anyone who cares
a miracle cure for the troubled soul

sometimes
08:25
|

sometimes I like to sit and talk
about the things I'm going through
sometimes I like to sit and listen
intently to you
sometimes I like to sit and stare
at her eyes lit by the Sun
and I'm always overwhelmed
by the things that you have done
sometimes I feel I haven't reached you
with the groaning in my heart
but my faith always reminds me
that you've been there from the start
sometimes the only thing I hear
is condemnation in my ear
you're the one who always erases me
you're the one who draws me clear
here I am reaching out to you
drowning in reality
take my hand let me walk with you
across the sea

autumn
08:07
|

autumn comes with her
pretty dead leaves on the ground
and you ridicule me again
the winter snows they fall like
picture postcards in the yard
and you forget me again
when the spring fills the air with her perfume
you insult me again
don't you see you're created for intimacy
I'm calling you come back to me
every beauty in this world
every beauty that you see
was created for you
thunder fills the hearts of man with fear
I outline the clouds with lightning
still you break my heart again
and the ocean like my love
so deep and clear that makes you
fear if you fall in it you will drown
don't you see you're created for intimacy
I'm calling you
don't you see you're created for intimacy
I'm calling you come back to me

those windows
02:58
|
|||
she sits alone with her thoughts and it seems
that they don't have room for me
who can say what goes on behind those windows
if no light can reach
and there's someone at the door
that she doesn't want to see
and there's something on the floor
that I don't want to be
is it hate? is it murder?
is there anyone who can reach her?
is it love? is it trust?
is there anyone who can teach her?

romanticistic

alone he views the rain
dancing down the window pane
just another pathetic cliché
of love discarded and vows misplaced
she says they've grown apart
no big deal or broken heart
wipe away the slate
with a brand new start
and a brand new mate
as Christ loves the Church
and gave his life for her
unbridled carnality
the destroyer of the least of these
place us for fools strip us of our rights to choose
faithful love over solitude
when it gets hard she'll take the selfish route
instead of fighting to work things out
but anything worth having at all
is worth fighting for and discarding walls
tell me what does it mean
till death do us part I belong to thee
shudder to think we'd say such things
and never ever really take them seriously
when the two make one
I guess there's something glorious
about looking into one's eyes
and knowing where security lies

wonderful grave
04:53
|
|||
what a shame I think I'm wasting away
and there's nothing anyone can do
to wither and die is the only thing
I can see waiting at the end of the day
the future I see is helpless and bleak
but I don't want to let it get me down
everyone around me has forgotten I'm here
and the train's pulling out of town
should I wrestle away from this bright shiny day?
would you notice if you found me at all?
I believe that my faith is a wonderful grave
but I keep feeling like I'm somebody's dog
should I wrestle away from this bright shiny day?
would I notice if you find me at all?
I believe that my faith is a wonderful grave
but I keep feeling like I'm somebody's dog

crush kill destroy
03:58
|

as it moves through the night
ruin everything in its path
nothing left standing
leave nothing intact
nothing worth saving
no escaping that fact
crush kill destroy
nothing left standing
nothing intact
my rage still swelling
changes nothing
no escaping that fact

Leper Chicago
Hundreds of years ago, Leper emerged from the cold clay of a long-forgotten grave in a forested fog somewhere between Skotland and Sveden. The pulsating rhythm from within the tomb still in the chest, the now-breathing creature –reanimated, stunned, staring down – remembers.... how a lifeless wretch lives again. ... more
