Into the Earth

Take a long cold look into the earth

Know your next to enter there

A panic sweeps through your veins and tears

Leak down out of your eyes

 

Pain shoots through your nerves and your fibers cringe

What hope is there in this suffering

The darkness deep and weighed down

A cold wind sweeps your sweat away

 

Your shivers fight against a slow decay

A light so bright pierced through the veil

The size of a pinhole no more

The warm ray of hope made it all so clear

 

Though understanding was not the darkness

It tried to push and hide away the light

Though none could conceal its treasure

You reachd your hand out towards a future

 

One that will yield better

Your hand is stricken, gnashed and burned

But you did not turn away

Desperately you grasp to life

 

And feel warmth upon skin, decrepit and stained

It takes over your entire soul

The point of light spread and enveloped your broken body

New life has filled your lungs

 

Rise and stand on new found glory

Darkness shall not enter again

You raise your hands, now immaculate and fresh

You open your mouth and sing

 

The light fills inside your body

Joy overflows out of this spring

Into the earth you shall never be

Forever in the light with the One true King
