Oh, how strange the day
That casts a shadow on my grave
That I have dug in wickedness
Through the flesh I have praised
I've found the woe in all of this
Yet in darkness I bathe my bones
While I chain my neck to sins
I stubbornly refuse to turn against
Like a sweet apple from a tree
I lust for the succulent taste
Of a fleeting happiness of addiction
That grasps my veins like ******
I've bonded myself to all the lies
That I have whispered to my soul
Each night as I stared into the stars
And drifted to the hell inside my mind
But in this place I found an angel
That defended the death I claimed
And I, like the vulnerable sheep
Drank the words of all she said
Like a glutinous fool I was quenched
Until the morning came again
And I woke upon the driest desert
My soul shriveled to nothingness
Yet I find somewhere within my spirit
To fight against every ounce of me
That keeps running to false desires
In hopes to find the freedom I yearn
I plead to be crippled from head to toe
To fall on my knees for eternity
Until I'm bruised and broken
And my heart can breathe again
When my lungs are filled with joy
That sings mellifluously throughout
And my eyes burn with passion
Ignited by the purest of light
And like an earthquake on land
May my spirit be shaken violently
Until the day I'm alive again
Where my mind will blossom
Like a field of flowers in the spring
Where the birds hum their beauty
And my thoughts are silenced
While my flesh dances like the bees
Oh, how beautiful this day will be
When winter is quelled by the sun
And every life is flourishing
In the Truth that we all had lost
