There's a Spirit calling out
No mindless wonder in this world of doubt
A Reality more real than this
Deception will steal our minds of bliss.

No strength within myself
It was all spent when mankind fell
The sting of death entered in
We started to die when we began.

The father of lies, the tempter's crown
Unrighteous souls will keep us bound
But innocent blood shed from Thee
The stripes You wore were for me.

I long to understand
What the Creator has done for man
Can our feeble minds comprehend?
We started to die when we began.

I spent my time dying hard
With no satisfaction in my heart
I pushed and I shoved until I cracked
Now He lives in me and I won't turn back.

Ride on, follow the Son
Never die, life's just begun
Don't hand me your deceiving lies
He is the Father and Son

Lay Your hands upon my chest
Make my heart beat hard like piston heads
I know where I'm going, He knows who I am
It's written in blood, truth never ends.

Please don't say he smiled a lot
Now they've layed me to rest
A wretched heart and a mind to match
Finally peace in my death.

However morbid it may sound
This world held nothing for me
By the grave and a twinkling eye
I have reached my destiny.

My life has passed in front of my eyes
A vapor in time, I lived and I died.
No more depression trying to disguise
Freed from the body that tortured my mind.

No one ever knew the inner tears that fell
Bottled up inside a living prison cell.
Though the Father of freedom saved my very soul
Years of corruption never let go.

Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
Well don't you know no one alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad.

I'm just a soul whose intensions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that all I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side.

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem angry, I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I get my share
That's one thing I never mean to do...because I love you.

Hey, don't you know I'm human
I have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself alone and regretting
Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Lying alone, looking to the sky
My pulsating veins and my bulging eyes.
I think about decisions that I've made
I can't take it no more and it's got to break.

I want to know why I live in disgust
Only thinking of hate and corruption
Can't I leave these things behind?
And go from this world of hate and destruction.

Darkness shines around my thoughts; I believe my mind is dead
What I find in peace of mind gives me the feeling of dread.

I walked alone, on my own
I didn't have a hand to hold
The door was slammed but I found the key
I can leave this world, forever be free.

Do you know how it feels...
when you wish to live no longer?
Do you know how it feels...
to have been took by someone stronger?
You know you've got to die to live on,
and when your time is near
Will you ever be sure?
Can you see things quite clear?

As my world crumbles all around me
I search for answers lying within
What a fool I've been to not have seen
What once was mine, the love she gave.

And so I bare the pain of an unwanted life
The birth of mind broken down in pieces
This infliction of my misery
My body lives but my heart and soul I've cheated.

Never again will I know such love
Such emotion only once could I find
Now in detachment, I'm drifting away
Execution for my blindness but I've been granted a stay.

I can't carry on this self-injustice
Time feels so ripped and torn
Dreams, all my everything
Tears, closer to the end of mourn.

Age is upon me, I live and learn
There's a light out there at every turn
What a fool I've been to not have seen
What is mine, the love she gives.

Last night I lay dreaming
Of days and nights gone by
My heart was drowning
Underneath a bridge of sighs.

Return to Me,
Return to Me my child
Return to Me
Return to Me my child

I wept within a vision
Followed with a will
Saw Him there, His cross to bear
And I am grieving still.

Conception of a disappointment
In an afterbirth of sin
Wasted years of denial
Too much pride and the fear of man.

Rise up my love
my fair one, come away.
For lo, the winter's past
the rain is gone, it did not stay.

Open up, my love
Perfect one, my love

Until the day breaks
the shadows flee away.
Ravish my heart with the look of your eyes
how much better your love than wine.

Oh my love, so beautiful
Lovely, as Jerusalem
Turn your eyes away from me
For they have overcome, overcome me.

Open up to me my love
My dove, perfect one
For my head is covered with dew
My locks with drops of the night.
