Shone forth from the light of day Past returns to haunt me again And doing it well I say Weight barely lifted from cruel way in. Misery thrives on it. The methodical heart of the never-ending sin The size of it all overpowers the soul Mind blocks of shadows taking its toll, oh me, oh no, not again The scraping and toil to find my way My heart ever yearning of these words to say To your soul and mine Crimes of passion burning deep inside Light is just outside… You don’t have to sell your soul And give up all that you are Condemned to conform The mind and the thoughts of this world have raped your heart You don’t have to sell your soul And give up all that you’ll be Better to die awake then to live asleep Take His hand and feel pain no more Be who you will be, even living among the thorns
