,br>Lie here and wait
In the end it's all I can do
Through barred windows
Clouds gather and rip through muddy skies
Turn to my cell
And stenches fill me
And claw at my eyes
What am I doing here?
I wasn't created for this
Not to be stuck in here
Why did I lock my self in here
Without a key?
I've broken down all I want to be
I'm sore and I can't feel a thing
So numb, so cold, so afraid
And this is all I am
And I wonder who does hold a key
There was one, once
Who held the key
And a time I could be strong in him
I wasn't supposed to be here
He told me, he promised me
But i turned from it
Didn't believe it
Maybe it was true
Maybe these years were wasted
Maybe, but then...
Maybe
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
I'm horse
My throat burns from
Another eternity without
A drop to soothe my thirst
I'm pale and cracked
My heart dried a long time ago
There's not a lot to do
When you are your own jail master
Something creeps in here
He talks to me
Though I know he lies
He tells me I am made to be here
He used to be great,
he says,
He used to compose
A melody or two
But he asked for too much
He was thrown away
Like you were, he tells me
But it was fine for me, he croons
I'm a god now,
god of this world
he slithers away
his legs removed
And I sit and ask
What am I doing in this place?
Again and again for a thousand years
I am trapped
Maybe I was wrong
Maybe I just need to say that
He said it wouldn't work
He told me last night
But, he's lied before
He's so good at it
I could try it
But why would my king listen now
I tense up as the
Anger and hurt fill me
The only feelings I have left
SET ME FREE!
A silent tear rolls along my nose
And is joined by more
I curl up and the serpents
in me writhe
They feed on this
They live on my pain
At least they can thrive
From my eternal death
I was so wrong
I know it know
I was so stupid
To turn away from him
He said that if I said
If I said I was wrong, he'd release me
That it was only my bloody minded guilt
That trapped me
So, well
Why not
I feel so sorry
I'll just tell him, he told me he'd always hear
King, I am so sorry
I have turned from you
I was so wrong and so stupid
I need you, I have always needed you
What I tried to get from others
I know I can only get from you
If you free me I will serve you
I ask only to be your slave
I will wash in your house
And tend to the pigs
I just ask to eat
And be with you again
I sigh and
As i sit there
I realise that
The promise made for all
Was also made for me
And I hear the lock click
And realise who holds that key
Who holds the keys of death
Who died to descend
And take them from
The liar who haunts me
Every night
The door creaks,
Lifetime old hinges
Rust and creak
But he opens it
LIGHT
fills the room
I am startled
I am afraid
I want to cover my eyes but
My arms won't respond
Then I feel the warmth
The power
Love, it is love
Pure love
He has come back
I crawl before him
I cry, deep sobs
I was so wrong
I was so stupid
I am SO SORRY
He kneels down and a voice
Like honey
Like water
A music of it's own
As your father has told you
For these I have died
For you
If there were no others in this prison
I would still have done it
I would still have borne it
I would have done it again
Until you were saved
You don't need to worry about
Being good enough
You don't need to believe his
Lies anymore
He picks me up
He hold me in his arms
And then he looks
Looks at me
In the eyes,
Me the dirtiest
Most foul creature on
The earth
My heart is refillled
My defiled soul is restored
My profane mouth is reborn
Yes. He looks at me
And says
You are my beloved one
My joy and my prize
I love you so much
And how is it
That I
May look upon the face
Of the Christ
