Cold fingers claw away My cage oh so cold This life they seek to strip away Deep dark strangle hold Caught in his snare, the fowler The flame calls to my flesh Temptation sweet like honey Dark angels sing to my d**h Overcome by darkness – falling away Spirit broken – lifeless cold Entangled in sin – tightening begin To a prison of flesh – i'm thrown Burning lust, idolatry Iniquities speak my name Shackles of greed weigh me down Corrupt the truth inside This world this flesh, destroying
Virtues fallen in disgrace My heart broken This life blackened [repeat first chorus] Once I was dead in transgression In which I lived Following darkness, encaged Trapped in d**h's firm grip Now I live so freely Ransomed by purist blood Set free from these chains The reward of Christ's love Resisting darkness – the turning away Reach for hope – in salvation Call on his name – throw off the chains This prison of flesh – I escape
