Death's Hope

I need you more than ever You said You'd be there Where are You then? When will You return? My soul is screaming But I hear nothing Every time I cry There is silence You said You'd never leave Then why can't I see You? Why can't I hear You? Why can't I feel Your face? I stare into the void There is nothing left to lose Nothing left to feel I jump into the darkness I feel a hand grab mine A light fills my soul Words fill my heart and intoxicate my mind I hear His voice It's singing 'Don't give up my child I have never left you My voice was drowned by lies My love, covered by sin 'Now you are free Chains will never bind you Leave you fears behind The hate no longer fills you 'You are not condemned To the hot fires of Hell Your soul can now take flight Your heart my rise again 'Take my hand The night grows colder I shall keep you warm I will give you life 'Fall into my arms young one Let my strength carry you You need no one else You'll want nothing else 'Cry on my breast I'll hold you forever Nothing will touch you No one can harm you' All at once I feel the power His fire consumes me His love engulfs my heart All at once All at once All at once
