A Look At The Soul
The blade shone red in it's hell brazen glory
His eyes glazed black like the pitch of the night
This man, killed my Savior, he assaulted my mother
Now here he stands, knife in hand, my life in the other
Is this my time, my destiny now set?
Mind runs it's course, filling heart with regret
What have I done, what should I do?
Look to times passed, life feeling through
Something grips sharp, hits my cheek
It tears through flesh, making me weak
A blade it is not, but a tear of hot sorrow
How I wish mine eyes to see that bright 'morrow
What I feel now, is not what it seemed
Beauty now broken, fear now teemed
Life of rubble, life of shame
A weeping man, I'm not the same
Build up the courage, to take a peek
The sight that stares back makes me creak
For the killer who I now so dare to see
Bears the same face, the man is me
I killed my Savior, assaulted my mother
That night at the cross, scorned my brother
The killer is me, the sin in my soul
From myself, my eternity I stole
My skin tears itself, my mind crumples to the ground
To Hell I am sent, to judgement I am bound
Fire licks my senses, rips, shreds my body
My soul is now rusting, dying, rotting
Take my last breath, the last of them all
I'll die in this place, this hell-blazon hall
Black as the night now, once again
I've damned myself here, through my own sin
Satan cheers above with legions among him
"Another" he snarled, "We've taken from Him."
Victory for the devil, damnation near complete
Against his army of rage, I'll never able compete
The ground erupts, the dark walls are tattered
The palace of the damned is violently shattered
"Hide, you fools!" screams the devil, now crying
Like a fish, caught, dressed, and sent for the frying
Light erupts from above, like a storm in the night
Loud, swift, and strong, now fueling their fright
Daylight hits my face, the sun soothes my pain
Calming and soft, like the touch of Lion's mane
Above me now, not a killer as before
But the one whom I killed, the risen Lord
And the glory throughout Him, O, what a sight
His face is pure beauty, beaming love light
Speak he does not, but a touch of His mercy
From the tip of his finger, though I am not worthy
We glide now together, through heavens above
He shows me His creation, His abounding love
Born in this world, but a resident, not here
My home is the heavens, I'm soon coming near
The Father calls me back, back into His arms
Ridden of the sting of hurt, danger, and harms
Though I may suffer, be struck down with pain
I'm changed forever, never the same
Say what you will, spear into my side
Let blood spill out, from nothing I'll hide
Let fear cover me now, roll over like thunder
He'll never lose his grip, I will not sink under
Send demons my way, let strike never cease
They can do nothing, my Father holds the leash
Look at these words with heart closed shut
You'll find yourself in the very same rut
But feel here His love, that's always suffice
He'll hold you forever, no matter what the price
