The Power And The Glory

This time I offer it all for this

This time I lay myself on the line

You’ve got to know I’d throw myself in

Whole heart and whole mind

Push everything else aside

Pull my next step over my eyes

Bring the future upon myself

Smash it over my head

And I never thought

A night this simple could freeze the hands of time

You’re the only one who can make time stop

So breathe, just breathe

And feel the air that fills the lungs

Cease the thought, just to be

This is the moment I’d always longed for

Here we are, face to face

This is now

I am here and this is now

The power and the glory are yours to take!

I now can comprehend the depths that I withheld

My deepest sympathies for ever pushing you away

But from here we move, we continue forward

This is not the end, this is the beginning

As the future comes like a freight train barreling down the dark tunnel

I see there is no escape hatch

There’s no way out, I can’t turn back, and this time it’s okay

This time I am, this time finally, I am not unnerved

This is learning to hold your breath, this is learning

To swim in a hurricane

This is royalty draped in rags

Draped in the rags of peasants
