Maze of Endless Night Lyrics

Where are you, oh despair?
You've escaped from the common grave
And suspended above ground, you rain hopelessness
I have no rest from the emptiness caused by loss and resentment.
Where are you, enslaver of minds? Why must you live in me?

Maker of images fashions the idols
Working the coals and engraving the stone
Forming creation like deities designing
Kneeling before them and rendering devotion

Trapped in a maze – confined inside – hope cast aside – times of dismay

Fashioning carvings to satiate hunger
Slavishly serving the mute artifact
Tiring labor, exhausting and draining
Patterns the structure that must be demolished

Trapped in a maze – confined inside – trust cast aside – exhausted
Trapped in a maze – confined inside – hope cast aside – bewildered

Answer my question this day!

Blessed he who reads aloud sacred words of prophecy
Consecrated those who hear, treasure them, the time is near
Once we stare into the distance across the sea of death
If justified, we must reject the stain of sin we've shed
Once we press on through the path, the road that lies ahead
The strength of God will sanctify the Spirit led

Yet while I'm here, terror falls by my side
Anxious concerning those events of the past
Stricken by a grief so immense in extent
Displeasure resulted from bitter providence

The Lord dominates His creation, and obliterates all false worship
Take me out of this place. Agony follows anguish
Ominous day of Christ, final vengeance. Victory is sealed with salvation
I call out to the heavens wondering if you are there
He renews the earth – restoration. No more suffering - yes, Amen
