Breaching for the seeking
We're reaching a new beginning
And hoping that we're not pushing
And shoving for it to
Go back to the way it was,
Beseeching with the feeling
That everything we are hearing
Is subtle and now we're fearing
The ending that we were cheering for
Has been unjust,
The moon is shining high
As we kiss on this starry night
Where we first met,
Let's Step onto the floor
Where they're dancing and make this one
We won't forget,
If moments last forever
I'll pray for this
To be my eternity,
You're teaching me the reason
For celebrating the season
You're all that I've been believing
And longing and praying,
Oh so very praying for,
I've been searching for a girl
Who had beauty and simple taste
Oh and only was it by grace
That I happened upon your face,
I need to search no more,
The moon is shining high
As we kiss on this starry night
Where we first met,
Let's Step onto the floor
Where they're dancing and make this one
We won't forget,
If moments last forever
I'll pray for this
To be my eternity,

That Old Wise Man
02:48
|
|||
|
Window showing black and blue the paths between which I must choose is Dark
A wise man once said what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger
Its difficult to see when ahead when
All around you men are dead
The air is heavy, full of dread
And Charred,
But to put yourself apart from all the
Men who died a martyr
You must look the devil in the eye and Bark
The sky is shining dark with light the air burning cold as hell Below
A wise man once said let your heart lead you where you go
Do unto others as you'd have them
Do to you, and always give a smile
To your neighbor and never Lie
Always lend a helping hand and
Treat your enemies like a friend
You'll never know when you'll need their Time

Love Of A Poor Boy v2.0
04:22
|
|||
|
Well as the roses are blossoming fast
So your beauty grows, forever may it last
Oh how I await the day when we
can dance and sing in love
Oh dear, I would ask for your
Hand right Now but I'm
Afraid you would Let me down
Oh please forgive me
because I cannot
Give you your rightful crown
Girl I would walk a million miles just to
Hear you say those three little words
But I don't think that you could return that love unless of
Course you had fancied me first
Girl I would dance and sing aloud for you
With a broom I'd sweep the shores
But your heart is fond of another prince
While I'm a poor boy at your door
Well what hurts the most is the fact that you
Already know I would give you world
But all I have is my love for you
And these dirty, raggedy clothes
Oh dear, my dear
How I wish I could know if you
Felt the same as I do... Oh
How I wish I could
Be the man that who would
Hold you close and kiss you
Girl I pray to God everyday that you would
See me for who I am
How I've been there to catch you when you fall and how I've
been there to hold your hand
Oh God, if me and her are to be together one day oh
Please won't you let me know
I can't just sit here and squander about while she chases a
love might not be so
In this cursed state of mind and these bloody chains I'm
conflicted as you've been told
I'd rather have you think of me as a pain then in my
Cowardice never know
Well he's invited you to go away with him so I
Guess its farewell for now
Day after day I will miss you and try to be
happy without you somehow

Glory In The Deep Waters
03:15
|
|||
|
Wade down, down below,
In the water, calm and slow,
Deep breath, let go,
Breathe down, down below,
Beneath the tide, beneath the night,
In the waters, down below,
Here He comes, here He comes,
In the water, down below,
Reach out, feel His warmth,
In the blue, deep below,
He is near, the end is here,
God is here, God is here.

The Lovely Glance
05:03
|

|
This undeserving fire is something I am
Satisfied to never letting go
With every breath I'm hesitant to breathe again
In fear that my wind may blow it out
I know that I am fickle at my best
And that timidity and weakness is my nest
In your symphony, I want to never rest
God, I ask you give me one more chance
Embrace me and make me anew,
Embrace me and make me anew,
Embrace me and make me anew,
Embrace me and make me anew,
My hope is that my mindset isn't waiting
For someone else to help my fellow man
Is it better that in shadows I go fading
Than to try my best and fail with my own hands?
I know that I am fickle at my best
And that timidity and weakness is my nest
In your symphony, I want to never rest
God, I ask you give me one more chance
Embrace me and make me anew,
Embrace me and make me anew,
Embrace me and make me anew,
Embrace me and make me anew,
Child, where have you gone? Oh where are you?
Don't you know I'll never let you go
There's no need to beg for my forgiveness
The moment you repent sin is no more
The moments you are fickle ain't your best
And underneath my wingspan is your nest
In my symphony, don't worry, you can rest
In my glory you reside, you are blessed.
Embrace me and make me anew,
Embrace me and make me anew,
Embrace me and make me anew,
Embrace me and make me anew,

If I May Die

Even though I may be gone for a little while
You know that I am doing fine
I hope you know that I most dearly love you
It's so true, I love you so
Don't mourn, because I am breathing
My heart is beating
Am I'm alright
Don't mourn, it's God I'm seeing
And I am having the time of my life
I hope that I have made your life better
Or maybe gave you some lovely memories
To everyone who made me who I am, I thank you
And love you so
Don't mourn, because I am breathing
My heart is beating
Am I'm alright
Don't mourn, it's God I'm seeing
And I am having the time of my life

A Sad Departure
03:44
|
|||
|
Going down that road we never knew we'd
Crash and burn, delirious,
There we were, your heart in my hands,
I looked you in the eye and then I
Threw your heart away,
caring little about your soul, or the consequence,
The thing about this world we live in is
Everything we do and say
Can come back
Back around
So here we are, once each others loves
Yet still, In chains and cuffs
can't even speak each others Name
Past and by, our love may be, but we are
Here right now,
Cast aside our stupid past, and let it Burn,
Cause here we are, in each others heads,
We can't maintain each others gaze,
Let's lift this curse from each others
Minds, And drift away,
please, give me closure today
I've been a fool too many times to count
and still, that curse remains,
I guess to keep you safe I'll stay away,
All that I can say is I'm
so sorry for my charades,
I hate that when I fell, I pulled you down
If I could take just one thing back I'd
Go back to the day
That we met,
And walk away,
Cause if we never met, my heart would be
Free of regret and so would yours,
But I can't today,
Past and by, our love may be, but we are
Here right now,
Cast aside our stupid past, and let it Burn,
Cause here we are, in each others heads,
We can't maintain each others gaze,
Let's lift this curse from each others
Minds, And drift away,

Deliver Us
02:24
|
|||
|
The hope that you offer is black as coal
Handing out the portions of
The promises that you promise you will do
With your perfect little smile
But wait, You wolf as A sheep,
the lies on your Tongue are the last thing We need
But wait, where are your deeds?
Why don't you show us where you will feed
Deliver us oh God, oh God, oh God please deliver us
Deliver us oh God, oh God, oh God wont you deliver us?
You're lips overspill with slick reassures,
Easing that feeling that
Everything that we know is damned for sure
But its good I know better
But wait, You wolf as A sheep,
the lies on your Tongue are the last thing We need
But wait, where are your deeds?
Why don't you show us where you will feed
Deliver us oh God, oh God, oh God please deliver us
Deliver us oh God, oh God, oh God wont you deliver us?
Deliver us oh God, oh God, oh God come deliver us
Deliver us oh God, oh God, oh With godspeed deliver us
