Before the Levy Breaks

I've been to hell and back 
Seen angels cry 
Though my wings did flap 
I could not fly 
For all my struggle 
Was it in vain
A life a trouble 
For a little gain 

I've crossed oceans 
Just to escape this hell 
Denied emotions 
But couldn't deny myself 
It's just a matter of time 
Before the levy breaks 
I've got nowhere to hide 
From this flood of love and hate 

Where are the scriptures 
That are sworn to save 
Where's the rapture 
To carry me away 
But my wings won't open 
They won't take the wind
Are they broken 
By the weight of sin
