The Separation
Father I know there is just one
Just one road that leads to the Son.
Tens of thousands of steps in stride
Yet still no proof the old man has died.
I take it all upon myself,
The mistakes that I have made.
From the slavers table once again
The debt has been paid.
Would I watch you die a thousand times?
How would that be fair?
To deny the strength of the very arms
That take my lifeless body there?
Yes Lord there is a road,
I have trod it once or twice.
But stood on the shore of the river of life
Shunning your advice.
So I took a chance and rolled the dice
Wanting something real.
After all, what could be worse
Then the hell I always feel?
If this is what I make my life
Then I know what I must do.
Only that which is left to die
Can be submitted back to you.
Just one road that leads to the Son.
Tens of thousands of steps in stride
Yet still no proof the old man has died.
I take it all upon myself,
The mistakes that I have made.
From the slavers table once again
The debt has been paid.
Would I watch you die a thousand times?
How would that be fair?
To deny the strength of the very arms
That take my lifeless body there?
Yes Lord there is a road,
I have trod it once or twice.
But stood on the shore of the river of life
Shunning your advice.
So I took a chance and rolled the dice
Wanting something real.
After all, what could be worse
Then the hell I always feel?
If this is what I make my life
Then I know what I must do.
Only that which is left to die
Can be submitted back to you.
