Hope for the Dying on: Facebook MySpace hopeforthedying.com

My prayer, my prayer
That faith will be my voice of reason
Through trials and storms
My hope will always lie in you
If I should fail
Your mercy will be never failing
My hope in the unseen to stay forever strong

That through flame and fire
My mouth never denies
That my hearts desires
My mouth never denies

You pardon all of the transgression that I’ll ever see
Your mercy reaches past my burdens and my apathy
If ever I should thirst with water you reach out to me
If ever I should fear unfailing love will surround me

Rectify my life,
I want to burn for you
Take this flesh and bone
and make it what you will

That I may seek you in the darkest of the blackest nights
That I may know that those who truly seek will always find
That I may knock and know the door will always open wide
That I reflect upon the day the stone was rolled aside

#288: Like There's No Tomorrow - Author, Creator

Like There's No Tomorrow

They don't believe that you can change at all.
And I myself am not convinced, but I know you know you're better than this.
I'm so fed up.
I've had it with you passing judgement on my life, while you celebrate your sins.

Look in my eyes, listen to me now:
Why is it so hard just to tell me the truth about how you feel, if you can't understand what I mean when I ask you why you treat me this way, every time you lie to me?
Why?

Would you trade your soul?
As far as anyone knows, you've already sold what's real.
And when you find yourself at the edge of the shelf, remember what you're here for.

Look in my eyes, and see what you've become. We are both victims, caught up in this constant struggle to prove each other wrong.

I hope you'll listen to me, I hope you'll understand.
We were not meant to dismantle ourselves with this petty execration.

We were called to love, unconditionally.
We were called to Love, unconditionally.

I forgive you, not because I want to, but I forgive you
because I know that there is something better waiting for us on the other side of this
conflict if we can only work through this together, lest we perish within the conclusion that we can't forgive ourselves.

Why would you trade your soul?
As far as anyone knows, you've already sold what is real.
And when you find yourself on the edge of the shelf, remember what you're here for.

You were meant for so much more.
Remember what you're here for.

#287: from One End of the Sky to the Other - Phinehas

from One End of the Sky to the Other

Phinehas

Genre: Melodic Metalcore

Phinehas on: Phinehas.us Facebook MySpace

part the dark sky that keeps me from Your eyes
even as the darkness descends
my cry came to Your ears
as my heroes fail me
they leave me to fend on my own
my cry came to Your ears

the earth withers beneath me
i'm always looking towards the clouds
i know we are not alone
can't help but feel You in my bones
when all is dead and gone Your love will still remain
from one end of the sky to the other you burn your banner

cords of the grave, snares of death cannot take me from You
i see the eyes of the empty
they form an eclipse above me
until i find safety in Your memory
safety in Your memory
safety in Your memory
safety in the memory of Your faithfulness

bright lights are breaking through the sky
dark clouds are pouring from Your feet
the seas and valleys all run dry
so reach through the sky and capture me
my cry came to Your ears
dark clouds are pouring from Your feet
your love saved no mercy for Yourself

so reach through the sky and capture me


the earth withers beneath me
i'm always looking towards the clouds
i know we are not alone
can't help but feel You in my bones

when all is dead and gone Your love will still remain
from one end of the sky to the other you burn your banner


the earth withers beneath me
i'm always looking towards the clouds
i know we are not alone
can't help but feel You in my bones

#286: Matriarch - As Hell Retreats

Matriarch

As Hell Retreats

Genre: Metalcore

As Hell Retreats on: Facebook MySpace

My matriarch, my anchor
Was the only thing to give me grasp and connection
To what love was to me and what love could ever be.

Instead you decimate my thoughts of what a loving being I could have been.
Now I will never reach that high.
She was the saint that had believed in me, Lord.
She was the only saint that I had eyes for.

You left me here, alone. What did I do?
I was starting to put my faith in you!
Could you not see that she was the only one that kept the single golden thread
From being cut from truth?

Nothing stays gold, or so I am told
Now may I be so bold to say that this life is worth nothing!

I am only so young, God.
But you don’t even flinch to take away my matriarch, my anchor.
Innocence is dead.
My matriarch, my anchor…is dead.
