In The Unknown Place For The First Time

Giving up something that was not ready to go

Like leading a prisioner to death who's not ready to die

Doing things I pledged never to ever do

I became a statistic that I fucking hate

A new vow of hatred has been placed inside my heart

Promising myself one last time never to go there again

To this unknown place where flesh meets soul

Given over to desire and lust where fire consumes you whole

I've been to hell before but this is another demension of it

Where it looks like paradise but it is far from it

Stuck behind the books of the law my spirit cries out for restoration

A legendary case of knowing the facts and going in anyway

I knew the sin and I knew the cause but I didn't feel a thing at all

Burning in me was the beast to get out and feed once more

With a new hunger that I had never seen before

Wishing to devour a whole being and to hear their moans

I've now heard things I need never to hear again

Forever will be the memories locked behind my eyes

Getting to a point where I know there is no return

Where is my forgiveness, where is my mercy?

Is there such a thing as a willingness to step into the wrong?

Hatred consumes me and now I look at my face in a new way

Tragedy takes hold and I will never forget that day

The day my world came crashing down to the sound of applause

I'm never going back and maybe that is the one good thing that came from this

No desire remains in me after I did what I have done

Reach out and take my hand someone, I am a broken man

This time was mine and yet I've thrown it all in a lake of fire

Rescue me from the deepths of the sin I sink in

I now know why the unknown places have been kept hidden from my eyes

Nothing can prepare a soul such as mine for this act

Unearth the parts of me that now how to heal others so I can heal me

Dig up the grave so I may put on the clothes of the dead and rise again

Father take these wounds and make them no more

Never crying out in a way like this, now do you see the magnitude?

Encased in flame there is no escape for a sinner such as I

Going to that unknown place for the first time

It was the worst thing I could have ever done
