Death...What Do Ya'll Know About Death?

Free of filth I've gone past the forseen life

Dying and taking all I was to the grave

Six feet under and six feet above

I've been to both sides of the mountain

And there is darkness on both ends

Blacker then the darkest of all nights

My mind was full of every single misery

Forced to live with the agony of a million souls

Crying out to me to be the savior of their lot

Pleading for just one drop of water on swollen tongues

The fire inside their hearts is nothing compared to

The fire that dwells amongst their flesh

Burning away at all that they ever were

I've seen first hand the horrors of hell

But I also know victory over death

Where I've looked it in the eye and asked

Where is your sting, where is your victory?

Drug through the street on the back of pitty and scorn

Born into disgust and raised to illuminating power

This conquerer comes in the robs of poverties sake

And by him I am made to know the truth

Finding in the eyes of justice my perfect peace

A rest that only comes in the arms of a healer

I was once dead but now I'm alive

Risen from the dead and touched by something special

Angels give glory to thee a son of thunder amongst thieves

So when you say you know of death do you truley know?

Ask me to see the scars and I will let you know

That by scars I am healed, and by blood I am reborn

It all had to fall for me to get up again

My own and that of another

Death once had me locked away

But now I am forever set free
