Holy Ghost
I’ve never seen You, but I wanna know
If You’re living in my broken soul;
This dirty shell made you a home?
All heads bowed and all eyes closed
I’ve never felt You,
But I hope You’re close
Here I am,
Come wash me in Your holy water
Will I ever be clean?
I’ve been a sinner for too long;
I don’t know if I can be saved
I’m just digging my own grave
With the weight of regret
To put me in place
I swore I’d never
Turn my back on you again
With broken promises that I couldn’t keep
Mirrors and smoke;
They hang on to every word You spoke
Water into wine,
You save Your soul,
But can You save mine? I bet
They don’t even know
What they believe
When they’re on their own two feet
Here I am,
I’m drowning in your holy water
Will I ever be clean?
Here I am, a reflection in your holy water
I’ll never be clean

Rapture
04:15
|
|||
|
Go to church and sit down
With your hymnals
Preach to me about the fire
And the brimstone
Rapture me, I’m not ready to die
Rapture me, I’m not ready to go
Oh, Death is at my door
But before I go
Can I say my goodbyes
One last time?
Will you meet me at those gates?
Or send me to the fire?
When I’m judged at the throne, alone?
Go to church and bastardize your bibles
Pray for ones that you
Never even cared for
Rapture me, I’m not ready to die
Rapture me, I’m not ready to go
Go to church and bastardize your bibles
Pray for ones that you
Never fucking cared for
Rapture me, I’m not ready to die
Rapture me, I’m not ready to go

Great Halls

|
Let me dwell in your great Halls
Let me rest in your peace
Let me bask in your brazen light
Let me taste of your relief
And lay me down
To endless sleep
When my soul departs the grave
Will I enter inside the gates?
See, I’m afraid of what you’ll say
“I know you not, depart from me;
Depart, depart; I know you, not.”
Let me dwell in your great Halls
Let me rest in your peace
Let me bask in your brazen light
Let me taste of your relief
And lay me down
To endless sleep
When I arrive, will you look away?
I only want to hear you say
When I arrive, please, don’t look away
I only want to hear you say,
“Well done, well done
My faithful son.”

Acheron
05:08
|
|||
|
Separate your heart from mine
I know you not
Depart from me
Spit you out
Of my mouth
Anoint your eyes
So you can see
Sulfur smoke, gnashing teeth
Sights of woe, no light to see
Far from God, fell from grave
Forsaken here, a hopeless waist

Tree of Knowledge
04:05
|

|
I never know where to start
When speaking of this
If God is real, full of love
Why should Hell exist?
A perfect creature, so benign,
Yet creator of sin
Why even think to paint the option
In the frame we’re within?
As I am left without an answer
Until the day I depart
It all seems to be the question of
What you did start
If we are made in Your image,
Why not open the gates
To Heaven, wide, none forsaken
And let us all in?
Could it be any other way?
Answer me!
I don’t mean to wax poetic;
I just want to understand it

Crooked Sky

Crooked sky
Answers hide
Above the clouds
Never found
Why do you hide
So far above us, now?
Is there even
Something to be found?

In Extremis
05:09
|
|||
|
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
It’s fragile now, paper thin
Oh, my God, free me from
This flesh I’m in
Say the eulogy
Don’t waste your time on grief for me
Scatter my ashes now
Oh, my God, free me from
This hell I’m in
