Then Power Sword Inserted Within

When we thought you gone we founded a den When we thought alone our fault did toughen When did you know, we were to fail you then? When we thought alone our fear did strengthen When we thought you gone we soon fought as men Our self-search was a climb to a tower Our search of self-made us creep and cower Our time in self-convinced alone with power Our search of self, made us beasts of sour Our self-search was what brought the fire shower Lord as we’ve lived let heaven be restored Lord we’ve wronged and fallen from where we soared Lord I beg mercy to spare me the sword Lord we’ve wronged, let us one error afford Lord as we’ve lived banish be reward Deserted with words ashamed and blooded Deserted, feeling broken and cheated Deserted for man, envy inserted Deserted feeling vengeful and thwarted Deserted with words lost and unheeded In dark I am broken cast from my kin In silence the cold evil doth begin In failing I am suffering within In silence the noise of a falling pin In dark I am plunged to weave all new sin
