Once I asked a Summit
About a time when you felt beautiful

A time when you felt sure
That God was on your side...

"Once I went insane
And killed a bunch of people"

Someone answered, serious
Awaiting my reply.

There's not always an answer
I thought after a while
Walking through my parents' kitchen,
Feeling kind of strange.

"I stall entire armies. I feel
Proud to stop the fighting."

Another answer rang out,
Coming from another angel.

For a moment I considered that the two might be the same
And feared I might collapse beneath the weight of all my shame

These steps are getting heavier,
My eyes are bleeding through
I'm walking to my grave
But I'll be walking straight to You.
