From a Tomb I Arise
From a tomb of troubles i arise,the withering dying souls question how do i survive.
I prevailed upon the demon casting words and traps,set to see my tragedy.
I have surfed among the tides of survival and learned a thing or two
from the being of the ocean.
I have borrowed the firefly's light at night when i was set free
in the open sky.The lord reached down bellow and garbed my soul from
dead to alive.My enemies prepared a tomb stone, but it was broken by thunder.
Was it my foe or family, now alive i really wonder.
I was deprived of a life of happiness,it was was taken,
by the grace of the lord i survived,by him never forsaken.
Attentively watch the grounds you walk.
Closely watch the company you keep.
Guard your face because a kiss of death may be placed upon your cheek.
