In The Unholy

The Awakening

I fall to my knees at the Throne

Then cover my eyes from the light, from the healing

Bury myself alone



Try to make a new start - be a part

of the church of the Holy Word

where I find my sins atoned



But in the other world flags unfurl

Feel the ever present sense of self

breaking my bones



In the unholy

No sanctuary

In the unholy

No-one to hold me

No-one to hold me



I fall to my knees at the walls of Jerricho

Seeking untruths and delights and darker pleasures

on the altar of bloodied stone



Never turn away only stray to the other side

The side of flesh and bone



Ever recommit - to submit to the Righteous call

from the hills of Evermore



In the unholy

No sanctuary

In the unholy

No-one to hold me

No arms around me



Was given all I needed, or ever tried to get

But easy to lust after, easy to forget

Easy to lust after easy to forget



Time for my repentance

Time for my repentance



From the unholy

No sanctuary

In the unholy

No-one to hold me

No arms around me
