Our Strength

Laying stiff inside the dark-
Unseen terror makes its mark-
Coming through the silent pain-
Happy aura now to drain-
No reaction left to scream-
Only horror inside this dream-

But hold my hand and I’ll take away-
All the pain I promise won’t stay-
And give you peace through embracing arms-
And won’t give in to Satan’s harms-

The world now lays on your shoulders-
Broken embers inside you smolders-
From head to toe makes you tremble-
Hopes to make you break and stumble-

But hold my hand and I’ll take away-
All the pain I promise can’t stay-
And give you peace through embracing arms-
And I won’t give in to Satan’s harms-

Now hold my hand and come away-
In this place we don’t need to stay-
Let’s share our peace through our embracing arms-
Away from the world and Satan’s harms-
