The Battle Still Rages

It's a song, y'all...

VERSE 1:

Squeeze my heart for all you’re worth and leave me here to die,

Turn my flesh to soil, my bones to dust,

Take all that you will while mourning fills my every hour,

Moments fade to nothing more than rust.

 

“Earth to earth” as pages turn much faster than before,

Hands upon my throat; my breath abated,

Heart to hearth, you sear my soul then leave and close the door,

My future grim at best; my past so jaded.

My future grim at best; my past so jaded.

 

CHORUS:

Sell me to the lowest cause,

Leave me to the wanderer,

All I have is nothing left,

There’s nothing more to ponder.

 

Stand me on the firing line,

What once was good is far behind,

Salvation has been torn out of my hands…

You have carried out your evil plan…

And you have branded me…

…a sinful man.

 

Verse 2:

Truth became my enemy and joy became my rival,

War-torn, weary, beaten and defeated,

Then came a spark of sanity; a fighting for survival,

You came to claim what once was lost,

And gave me what I needed,

You came to pay the cost so you could give me what I needed!

 

CHORUS:

Render me forever clean,

Save me from the fi-re,

All I have is nothing left,

You are my souls de-sire.

 

Lead me to the finish line,

Redemption’s what I have in mind,

Salvation is delivered to my hands…

You have carried out your final plan…

And you have branded me…

A brand new man!

 

And you have branded me…

A brand new man…

 

 

 

Author's Note

So, how 'bout don't judge all my work by this... sometimes I gotta do lyrics.

[Norma J. Jessee]

And they are great. As I read I could almost hear the tune in my head. It has a great rythm . There is a saddnes there but there is also a bright hope that shinning through. There are also words of inspiration.
A great song.
