From Dust To Ashes: Singe Out the Shame
Singe out the shame...the shame...
Stop blaming me for your mind game
Tame these flames...right now...
Somehow, I will be taking a bow
He, the Lord, is a mountain above
His spirit shimmers and soars like a dove
Merciful and mindful is He with abound love
What was I thinking of?
What was I thinking of?
Tell me, love...
What was my daydreaming mind been?
Have I once again did a bad, bad thing? Once again?
I see you standing there -
Your shadows and reflections
Look so bear...it's not fair...
Receiving lots of rejections...
I whisper in the atmosphere below
I pray in solitude's hold though
Overcome the hardship and the pain of rain aglow
Let the wind blow and let the flowers of plenty grow
The rocks and cliffs of many
Makes me feel like I am satisfied, you see?
Do you see the sea in my eyes?
Do you see the truth beneath the lies?
The sun is but a shadow, hidden and alone
Forbidden and forlorn...simply on my own
The moon is but a reflection, slightly shone
The clouds of dreariness is but a lone bone
Boredom of hot and bothered everything...
Makes me feel like no one understands me
I know, deep down, God's Kingdom is nothing
Compared to what this world can show frankly
I won't frown anymore
I will be stronger at the core
I'll wear a brave face
Embrace God's race of grace
Left without a trace,
But I'm moving on at my own pace
My bottle is half full
What about you, beautiful?
From dust to ashes,
I collect my gashes
The scars of the past vanish
No more anguish...that's my only wish
I'll stitch away my shyness
I'm making epic progress
I am who I am and I, alone, won't be enslaved in regret
I am His lamb, a well-built dam, all needs and wants met
Humility and obedience are lifelong traits to achieve I bet
Although I always find myself, diving deep in utter debt
Burn away the snow of sheltering sorrow
Gravity inclined in my heart of sunlit glow
My darling angel...
Does it ring a bell?
I am alone in my cell and going pell-mell?
Lost forever in this shell...I am like a hermit crab, cuddling with cleverness and feeling crazy and I'm getting steamy as hell
Liberate me with your lamentable lies...
Tell them to shut out our goodbyes
These bittersweet, pitiful emotions - we meet again
Singe out the shame and let the serene glow glimmer times ten
Gladness and glory is what I need at this very moment
Victory is mine and I know that I'm a genius in God's ten
