A Trampled Life
Do you hear your bones break, feel your mangled heart?
The desire for pain has ripped you apart
Your soul has been tortured, bludgeoned and maimed
Those dark eyes cannot disguise the heartache and pain
You are filled with hatred, greed, and insidious lies
Manipulated, you thought yourself to be wise
A prisoner with shackles of anger and fear
You lost every thing your heart once held dear
Tempted by poison cloaked as nectar so sweet
The body craves more while your essence depletes
An evil captor stole your heart, taking it far from me
You know how I love you but you are too blind to see
Satan has gripped you in a tormenting vise
Your soul suffocates yet he still does entice
The wicked disguises as an angel winged with light
While he keeps you in bondage and steals your sight
Death on the horizon, you cannot get enough
You are willing to bury yourself under the rough
Deeper and deeper, trampled into the heavy earth
Like an elephant stampeding, you feel crushed with no worth
Yes, your soul has been trampled by Satan's cloven hoof
But to God who is greater, beg for strength and for truth
Desires of the flesh cannot fill the desires of the soul
I pray for you, God take a trampled life and make it whole
