Dying For Life

Antithesis

The soul lives on beyond this life will you ascend into the light

Or be consumed by nothingness

Or cast into the black

For as above is so below and only one will take your soul



I've been to the grave

I've seen my life end

Of my own free will

Death by my own hand my blood has been shed



My soul has been damned

My spirit condemned

My sin I repent



With broken heart and broken mind

I took my life before its time

For one must die to rest in peace

I tried to put my mind at ease

I never thought my suffering would last for all eternity



The soul lives on beyond this life will you ascend into the light

Or be consumed by nothingness

Or feel the flames of hell fire



I've traveled afar to the ends of the earth

I watch from afar, in shadows I lurk



For every death, a life is born

A soul is sent, a soul returns

My life on earth a living hell

A pain I know too much, too well



My mortal soul is in despair

A punishment I cannot bear

Forsaken by God, exiled to the land of lost souls

Into the unknown, tortured spirit in limbo, I roam



Almighty God! All merciful, please hear my cry

He listens not, my plea for forgiveness denied

Thou hast been given life

Thou shalt not taketh away!



My absence of faith

My wings will not fly

My soul will not rest



A paradise awaits the saved the promise kept to thee of faith

Lived by the word, receive the son

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done

Deliverance, divine wings of rapture rejoice



The angels fly to the light

They're guided by voice

I'm left behind in anguish

I mourn my own death



Forevermore,

Unborn dying again

And again, dying again, dying for eternal life
