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
