TAKE MY HANDS AND LEAD ME
CARRY ME THE DISTANCE
LEAVE ME AT THE PLACE WHERE
THE WORK IS DONE!
I don't want to sound like a broken record
But please bear with me, this is more than I can take
I'm shaking with sweat and asking for a friend
But somewhere in the end
They've left my side
[Pre-Chorus]
Did pretense make you weak? Your legs can't even stand
The promise of the dead is that they won't be back again
[Chorus 1]
DARKNESS, DARKNESS FOUND ME
HERE LIKE A COMMON THIEF!
YOU GUARD THE EXITS CAPTAIN
BUT CHOICES ARE NEVER FREE!
TAKE MY HAND LEAD ME ON!
I don't want to give you answers
That you'd throw right back in to my face
I'm exhausted from being myself
But Your voice, is the Voice here and always
Inside, inside follow
Control that you swallow
You've got the numbers on your side
TO BURY ME!
It's just as you said, in those words, I am identified
Let's get this started right now
The endless excuses
We're all here to watch me try
NOW TO DIE!
[Pre-Chorus]
Did pretense make you weak, your legs can't even stand
The promise of the dead is that they won't be back again
[Chorus 2]
THIS FAVOR CAST ON ME
BUT IN THIS REGARD I DISAGREE!
THE LIFE YOU TAKE IS THE ONLY
THING I HAVE HERE TO MY NAME
THE ONLY THING I HAVE IS NOW TAKEN AWAY!
The mystery of iniquity
The weight of secrets brought to a rest
Blood and bone have been my home, but in the eyes I see
Why it took Me
