Heavy Against Me (demo 1996) Lyrics

Sin like an anvil
Weighing me down
Falling into despair
I fight and drown
Life's fatal mistakes
Choosing right and wrong
Before the cards are dealt
The game's already done
I once saw the light and felt Spirit
Now I fear I'll be eternally lost
Can one like me ever be forgiven?
As my sinful nature weighs its load
Heavy against me
As I walk this path
Paved with disaster
Hate calls out to me
"Make me your master!"
Dragging me
Down into its iron grip
Beckoning me
To fall once again
I once saw the light and felt the Spirit
Now I fear I'll be eternally lost
Can one like me ever be forgiven?
As my sinful nature weighs its load
Heavy against me
Falling down into the deep nevermore
Pushing God out of my life forever
Living for myself and my pleasures
Not realizing the consequences
I once saw the light and felt the Spirit
Now I fear I'll be eternally lost
Can one like me ever be forgiven?
As my sinful nature weighs its load
Heavy against me
