- I Remember You -

It's been forever but you still haunt my nights
Teasing me and whispering your cursed lies
You've stolen my youth, took a knife to my heart
When you said to turn aside, you never told me the truth!

You took a black crayon and colored me blind
Painted a picture of all the wrongs in my life
With tears streaming down from my eyes
You whispered hatred and revenge as my right

When my heart was about to explode and bleed out
And the pain of mistaken dreams washed through
I listened to the whispered promise of youth
You are to blame but I promise you truth

Murder rage is the game to play through
Blood your sword in tempered hate blows
Heal your wounds in revenge and kill all
For you are the mistaken fool and I control you

I made you hate, I made you crave, I am the god of hate
You think you're in control, I got news for you
You're living in a world I created for you
Now run like a puppet, I pull the strings, you shoot the gun

Where have I gone? What have I done? Am I to blame?
I'm washed and covered in blood not my own
Unforgiven is my name, Lost in a world of pain
Hatred is all I know for it's the price I paid for sanity

Who will ever understand me, the broken and shattered
Will you ever see the child in me? Did you see him bleed?
He died long ago to abuse, killed by those he loved
All that remains is the wraith, driven by hate and pain

Who will love me now? Will you dare look me in the eye?
Who is this man I see before me now? Are you for real?
I see this Jesus figure and I wonder, do you see my stains?
Why the tears in your eyes? Don't come to me scared

His hands outstretched, I see where the nails pierced through
His body broken and whipped, blood pours out like a flood
I though you said you were God! Why suffer like a man!
Why this agonizing pain when claiming You can save from death!

I wander as the wraith, the darkness of mind complete
I take a knife and sanctify it with tears and blood
My instrument of release from this pain called life
In my mind I steal one last glance behind remembering

With tears of sorrow, I remember you
In the darkness I swear I heard you
It's still that whispering voice
Calling, Surrender your life to me

Who am I that you still call to me? Am I not the walking dead?
But inside I feel the stirring of embers within my soul
The call to surrender is greater still, the embers spark new
Do I believe the story of old? Can I trust His claim holds true?

In the stillness of night, I kneel as one dead to the world
In tears of broken promises and unwashed stains
I surrender to you, this God become flesh, broken and spilled
Raised from the dead in final victory, the keys to death in His hands

I remember you and I remember my past, for I am reborn
Now my hands reach out to the world in desperate pleas
I was one of you! I remember you! I was dead like you!
But now I am alive, renewed, the child wakened from the dead
