Amen Lyrics

(Adam): DID I ASK FOR THIS BIRTH?
HIS HANDS TO MOULD ME THIS WAY?
AS PENITENT MAN I KNEEL
AND YET THE BLADE CUTS CLEAN
AND THOUGH THIS PARADISE BE LOST
IT DOESN’T SCARE ME TO KNOW
MY PATH WILL END WITH INTENTION
AND WHEN THIS LIFE-LIGHT DOES FADE
AND WHEN THE DARKNESS IS ALL
MY HEAD WILL BOW UNTO HIM
WHICH BRINGS ME CLOSER TO MY GOD
AND THOUGH HIS HEAD WILL BE BRUISED
AND THOUGH HER WOMB BE RIPPED RAW
I FALL TO ONE KNEE AND EMBRACE MY FATE

WE STAND ALONE
TO HEAL THE DISEASE
REBUILD THIS SHATTERED WORLD WITH CRIPPLED HANDS
“SAY THAT DEATH BE NOT ONE STROKE BUT ENDLESS MISERY, BEREAVING SENSE? FROM THIS DAY FORTH, BOTH IN ME AND WITHOUT ME THAT FEAR COMES THUNDERING BACK WITH DREADFUL REVOLUTION
WHY SHOULD ALL MAN, FOR ONE FAULT, THOUGH GUILTLESS, BE CONDEMNED OF IT”

WE STAND ALONE
TO HEAL THE DISEASE
REBUILD THIS SHATTERED WORLD
WITH CRIPPLED HANDS

THOUGH OUR FRUIT BE ENRICHED
OUR GARDEN WITHERS, DECAYS
THE CHOICE OF MAN SHALL SCORCH AND PARCH ALL LIFE
OUR FUTURE, THOUGH VEILED, TO HIM BE THE WAY
IN FAITH, THOUGH WEARY, I TREAD
(I): As the blazing sword shall sear my past
