Sickness

Today my strength Forever my weakness Today my health Forever my sickness Pulling me down with a violent spin Tempting me to do an incredible sin Releasing all of my anger and pain in a fury One simple yes and I'm theirs in a hurry Ultimate strength Ultimate weakness Ultimate health Ultimate sickness Running a path of violence and pain All with absolutely no kind of gain Everyone knowing and fearing my name Everywhere I go it's always the same Worldly strength Forever my weakness Worldly health Forever my sickness Hosting these demons is taking it's toll They're eating away and destroying my soul Holding me down and dragging me away Help me dear God, I don't know what to say Please take me out of this violent spin Please forgive me of this incredible sin Please restore the peace I once had Please dear God, I'm tired of being mad Forever my strength No longer my weakness Forever my health No longer my sickness Now I look up at the sky towards you Everything I have, I owe it all to you I'll never forget what you've done for me Now I can talk to you on a knee Now I'll talk to you as a friend For every wound you've been able to mend
