A blanket of black in solitude
To face the silence, my lover's quiet
Escape the pain of three wars
Against my senses, the chaos wars.
Wars of seeing, hearing and speaking
Wars of seeing, hearing and speaking
Constant wars
I end the wars.
Now there's only one only war left for me to fight
And it's the battle for my own heart
The battle for my own heart
There's only one only war left for me to fight
And it's the battle for my own heart
The battle for my own heart.
I start to climb like I was told
But this expanse, it never ends
And I'm afraid, I feel alone
I'll never win this war on my own
But I won't be crowning death as my savior
This gift of life is from my creator
So he's the one to end the wars.
Now there's only one war left in which to fight
And it's the battle for my own heart
The battle for my own heart
There's only one war left, but I can't fight
Oh this battle in my own heart
The battle for my own heart.
Have I tried to bring
My unworthy strife
Filthy rags for a sacrifice (minstrel songs)
Oh the scandal of the death of god (birth of god)
Now there's only one way left for me to die
And it can't be just my own cross
My blood would leave the world lost
The war was won before I ever fell
Oh god took and faced my own hell
And every work he does well.
So I enter into heaven's perfect work
Finished from the earths beginning
Jesus christ my ending.
