Cold Stone Lyrics

The darkness seeps into my soul
Black as the mud
I feel that I've been here before
Through famine and flood
I hear the lies, they're writhing inside
A voice that is well known
A voice that promises life
But brings only cold stone

I feel myself drenched in promise
washed in the Blood of the Lamb
My weapons are forged by anguish
For the lost and the damned
Do you feel my wrath is righteous
Will your war find a home in this world
Could a simple calling for Your Kingdom come
Lay waste to the serpent of old

I hear the cries of all creation
Calling Your Name
A Name worth holding your heart in your hands
And begging for change
How can one hope for their path to be set straight
When they choose to walk alone
Believing all they hoped to believe
Their hearts turn to stone

I've payed the cost
I've played the game
I've twisted the truth and believed in the lies
And only I'm to blame
No longer can I hold my head in the sand
For fear that I will be alone
I must climb free of this lake of acceptance
Before I'm weighed by the stones
