Without Thine Will

 

Just as you declared

All the blame falls on me

The beauty within my pain

Destroy me as you will

 

Nothing remains - Not one breath

Ask me to suffer - Suffer in death

Remove my soul - Crush it's very life

 

God after god will die

Faith to faith I cannot believe

Separation through my sin

Destroy me if it is thine will

 

Nothing remains - Not one breath

Ask me to suffer - Suffer in death

Remove my soul - Crush it's very life

Nothing remains - Not within me

 

Why is there no more faith?

Was there love beneath this hate?

The world is hard, reality cold

 

Seasons of Desire

 

I feel the words return again (never)

No less a lie, than it’s always been (never)

Never!  I will never…

 

I feel the blindness in my eyes

You believe nothing of what I know

I call the name of this caress

Beneath my coldness, I would have once seen

 

I see the fear that has gone numb

You know this time has become soon

A violation; indiscriminately

Without speech the words so clear

 

Before the end my wish calls for nothing

Contentment resolved with this [done?];

Absolutes

 

I forth cast this will that I’ve never known

Rendezvous with desire I will never know

A forced will now broken, broken with time

We feel this dominion, rise again renewed

 

The cracks upon my skin they bleed

Through each crevice it flows

The flesh gives with each motion

As the aged hands are engulfed

An appearance as though worked

Hands cracked before their time

 

I forth cast this peace, it has frozen strong

Beneath my withering mind

Now cast myself from unbelief

The waters flow forth in cleansing power

 

Through passions I folly, in misery protected

I come to face my injustice, the call unanswered stands by

To die before a world, this world

To reap the mind I know we all seek

 

A disturbance within my utter deepest

The fairest kiss as death blackens me

The majestic splendor, my unknowing dismissal

Inside my hollow eyes, the blindness melts into emotion
