My Eternal Chains

In the time that is lost to the morning In the darkness awaiting the dawn As sleep still abandons the sleeper And the curtains of light lie un-drawn As I lie with me fears and my horrors My hopes and my dreams overwhelmed Consumed by the thirst of tomorrow Devoured by the past, that I've penned My mind is my ultimate prison Too dark for the light to prevail Decisive, in my indecision Entombed by the walls of my jail An Angel sits high, in the Heavens Too far for the warmth of her hand But closer at reach are my Devils My still beating heart in their hands Inverted, my Crucifix broken Tear-stained my bonds and my shame Sweet Jesus, I need but a token A path through the heat and the flame Oh! Show me the way Lord, I'm dying Too long in the Darkness, I've waded My faith is eternal, undying Your truth alone, keeps me elated I need but a glimpse of tomorrow A promise of daylight and hope A means to an end of my sorrow A Saviour to loosen these ropes
