Take It All Away

Haven't felt pain till clouds rush in Rain of tears, a handful couldn't bear Blurred as it seemed, my life in a spin Could this be the last of a memory's flare? Mercy I asked, never knew if heard Last of the seen, vanished in thin air Couldn't run away, the last thing to dread No more to hold, no one to be of light's heir I've seen the unseen, heard every words, and felt it all What more to ask of this chills running through Couldn't open my eyes, scared to fall And just couldn't bear this agony so true. My eyes are shot, my ears don't listen, my heart stop beating' It all stopped to this end, dark and heavy felt in the inside And there I was, standing beneath a loud ink dripping, "Dear Lord, take it all, wash this pain away, make it slide"
