Blind

LET ME SEE LIGHT. GIVE ME MY SIGHT!
YOU HAVE TAKEN FROM ME ALL OF MY MIGHT.
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?
WHY WON'T YOU LEAVE?
TAKE THIS EVIL AWAY FROM ME.
POUNDING VOICES INSIDE MY HEAD.
IF THIS IS HELL, THEN AM I DEAD?
GO AWAY!!! 
WHY DID YOU BRING FEAR?
HOW LONG MUST YOU STAY?
BE GONE FROM HERE!
GIVE ME MY SIGHT AND GO BACK TO YOUR HELL.
I"M TOO WEAK TO FIGHT, AND I'M TOO TIRED TO YELL.
SILENCE HAS FINALLY TAKEN THE VOICES AWAY.
I HOPE THEY STAY GONE NOW THAT I CAN SEE.

LIGHT IN MY EYES; PEACE IN MY EARS.
THOSE VOICES WERE NOTHING BUT EVIL AND FEAR.
LORD, SHELTER ME FROM EVIL AND SIN
THAT THEY MAY NEVER RETURN AGAIN.
