Severance

My eyes are blinded by the mighty truth that I have found

The endless joy of perfection interceding

Constant misdirection

I lay down my own soul compensating for wasted lies

Revering my savior with the penitence of blackened souls

Penitence of blackened souls

Take who I am, rip it away, take who you are,

Carry me through adversity

Take who I am, rip it away, take who you are,

Carry me through adversity

I am the one that shows you all the life that you can live

I am the one that descends from on high to hear your voice

I am the one

I come to you for protection, O Lord my God.

Save me from my persecutor—rescue me!

If you don’t, he will maul me like a lion,

Tearing me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

O Lord my God, if

I have done wrong or am guilty of injustice, if

I have betrayed a friend or plundered my enemy

Without cause, then let my enemy capture me.

Let him trample me into the ground and drag

My honor in the dust.

Arise, O Lord, in anger!

Stand up against the fury of my enemies!

Wake up, my God, and bring justice!

Gather the nations before you.

Rule over them from on high.

Declare me righteous, O Lord, for I am innocent,

O Most High!

End the evil of those who are wicked,

And defend the righteous.

For you, O God, look deep within the mind and heart.

Arise and bring justice to the torment of my soul

And take a stand at the front lines of my embattled mind

Stand up and bring forth your own holy justice

And make me a way out of this sordid lie.

The dawn is breaking on the day that I will reclaim my heart

My lies and the torment have but to feel the swell of truth

I prepare my weapons for when the day of decision comes

Shall I choose my maker or refractory of creation?

I forsake the torment of my soul,

Resurrecting the truth of life

Bury my anguish and drown my sorrow

With the presence of the enthroned truth

Take heart, know that I have won your freedom

Broken chains and clarity will mark your legacy

Take up the weapons that I have forged just for you

Form the resistance;

Forsake the persistence for I have taken your soul away

Arise and bring justice to the torment of my soul

And take a stand at the front lines of my embattled mind

Stand up and bring forth your own holy justice

And make me a way out of this sordid lie.

Time to return to the path of my desires,

Follow the way of the world

Remember the table from which I did partake,

May my eyes receive release

I am not my own,

I forsake my soul with the hope of something greater,

Take my scars, and take my wounds and renew me to your own,

Grab my hand and prepare to fight,

It is time to wage your battle, taking heart,

Lift your banner high, for you are not alone.

Welcome back, you’re here again,

I’m sure that you have missed this place,

You are just a man, a weak mass of flesh,

You are under my control.

Give me your hands, give me your flesh,

Give me your eyes, give me your heart

This is not a question of why you despise me but

I will give the answer that you are misled

You will never realize your own taste for freedom,

Just follow me and I will give you everything

You place your trust in a fallen man,

In hopes that his death will save you

He can do nothing, his power is useless,

He holds no hope for you.

There is nothing I can do to gain my victory over you

Your hope is a lie, you shall never defeat me

You may(shall) never harm my chosen one, the victory is mine

I alone have won the victory, my blood has paid the price

My chosen ones will stand eternal through my sacrifice

Nevermore shall your soul be trapped by the lies that you created

You are mine, I make you strong through the power of my love

I am not my own,

I forsake my soul with the hope of something greater,

Take my scars, and take my wounds, renew me to your own,

I grab your hand and prepare to fight,

It is time to wage my battle,

My fight is won and my heart is new,

By the blood of Jesus Christ

Take my heart, take my soul, take my scars,

Take my wounds

Create anew this heart has chosen you.
