Inside my walls so gray
without a trace of light
Tomorrow will be the same
for their both as dark as
night
They say I had no feelings I
couldn't laugh smile or cry
I thought one day I would
take my own life or if I
could just lie down and die
Then I thought about my
people my mother and the
tears she might cry
So I hit my knees I bowed
my head and this is what I
said
Thank you God for loving
me giving me another day
Thank you God for loving
me showing me there is
another way
Thank you God for loving
me for it is you why I'm
still here today
                Amen

Crusaders on horses
Archangels in the wind
They stand ready for the
slaughter to begin
Our Angels were crying
our souls were dying
They can save us no more
Hell's gates were clapping
the Devil was laughing
His demons tallied his score
The smoke was rising the
flames were flying
The Devil took his aim
It wasn't long the smoke
parted sky turned blue
seven Archangels came
One cried out all aboard this
train to internal life
For those who believe will
not fall under my knife
Another swirled his sword
and yelled last call
As I was boarding I turned
my head and this is what I
saw
In a blink with a flash my
entire life gone past
The demons and the Devil
were starting to fall

If my tomorrow never
comes and my sun doesn't
shine.
I want you all to know
knowing you all was a
pleasure all mine.
I know where I am going I
have no fears .
So put a smile on your face
please wipe away your
tears.
God loves us all I want you
all to know.
I hear those Angels calling
it's time for me to go .
