Others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire;
hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
–Jude 1:23 (KJV)–

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree,
that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness.
–1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)–

—

Consumed with memories
That preceded today
Given the chance to bereave
Life that’s slipping away

Suffered through tragedy
Of my slow decay
Deceptive tendencies
Dragged my soul away

All that I know
There was no God for me
Force that shatters all
Absence of mortality

Revive all my fears
Revive wasted tears
Revive void within
Revive once again

Again
Again
Again
Again

Forsaken by destiny
Forsaken by my own mind
I must remove my skin
To see belief in your eyes

All that I know
There was no God for me
Force that shatters all
Absence of humanity

Revive all my fears
Revive wasted tears
Revive void within
Revive once again

Again
Again
Again

Reach for the sky
Touch the sky
Revive a hope
For mankind
