lyrics

Helpless and hopeless, I struggle in vain
The enemy taunts me once again
Succumb to temptation, in my degradation
Things once held sacred now profane

The spirit is willing, the flesh it is weak
Any sense of control lost in the end
And though my past haunts me, my destiny calls me
Save me before I fall again

An overwhelming emptiness engulfs my soul
My very consciousness becomes my enemy
It seems no matter how I try my dark side just won't be denied
I'm trapped on the ice I keep falling through

Surrounded by vile evil legions entrapped here by the enemy
I pray for my deliverance will my prayer go unanswered?

How long must I remain held as a prisoner here
Mired in depravity and gross inequity?
Of all good I've been undiscerning and I feel the pain of endless yearning
Do what I can to save what's left of me

Time seems to have stopped as I edge ever closer to the void
Staring at damnation my soul screams in desperation

The father of all lies has me in his sights
I will not comply, struggle to defy

The source of my weakness: my false independence
has blinded me to reality
I left myself open to all that could be
(and) I felt a change come over me

Accepting His presence forsaking my will
I realize now I'm truly free
Strengthened by promise, suspended by hope
I rise to confront the enemy

I race against tomorrow to complete my goal
Though I will surely die there is no other way
Cognizant as I journey on the path I've set my self upon
May take me where I'd rather not have strayed
Arising from the ashes of my former self I've been set free
I'm now who I was meant to be my eyes fixed on eternity

Though my heart beat its last I'll not concede defeat
I'd gladly rather die than serve the likes of you
Though my end may be drawing near I've strangely lost all sense of fear
Enrapt by what I know now I must do

Untethered by self-preservation, undaunted by impending doom
A slave to my will no more I engage my final conflict

You have been denied – I will not comply
Look into my eyes – no longer defiled
