Tread Away the Dread

Father, I was walking the route of mere doubt Lord, You know exactly what I'm talking about Go ahead, Satan, and fill my hopeless head with utter dread I will drain it all away with His spirit and will seek faith instead Drown out the heartless lies Wave goodbye to those goodbyes That try to break you completely You will be free from your captivity Tread away the dread…the dread…the dread… It enslaves us all while we lay awake in bed…in bed… Wish I was dead instead…dead instead… I love you – I will highlight it in bright red…red… Cheerfully, I was walking the route of what’s here and above My dear, you know exactly what I’m talking about and thinking of I want to be brave and reduce these tears to nothing but happiness I want to be defeated by delightfulness in its fullest and make progress Drown out the heartless lies Wave goodbye to those goodbyes That try to break you completely You will be free from your captivity Tread away the dread…the dread…the dread… It enslaves us all while we lay awake in bed…in bed… Wish I was dead instead…dead instead… I love you – I will highlight it in bright red…red… Drown out the heartless lies Wave goodbye to those goodbyes That try to break you completely You will be free from your captivity We were in the wilderness of epic woe We were in the sea, shimmering aglow We are now standing tall through it all, it all We must stand tall and answer the Lord's call Drown out the heartless lies Wave goodbye to those goodbyes That try to break you completely You will be free from your captivity Tread away the dread…the dread…the dread… It enslaves us all while we lay awake in bed…in bed… Wish I was dead instead…dead instead… I love you – I will highlight it in bright red…red… We must stand tall and walk uprightly in hope's hall We are an ascending wall, getting on the ball We were all wandering around oh so aimlessly Take my hands and dance with me graciously Drown out the heartless lies Wave goodbye to those goodbyes That try to break you completely You will be free from your captivity You’re not to blame – where can we flee? Where can we flee? Can we be set free? Instead of wasting time, tread away the dread… Come on and go ahead, tread away the dread…
