Spire of Fear

I'm crucified between two thieves
A regret for the past and a fear of the future
Hope falls like silver rain
Molding the suture (Molding the suture)

Pinned in a chasm
A mirror is your prison
Every cry echoes out
All refuse to listen
Oh

Shy from ownership
Feel it in every breath

With every lesson unlearned
God won't come with age
These lesions of the spirit
Give way to silent rage
Down a cloaked path
Listen for the words
I've held the weight of knowing
And begged for what I earned

To hesitate is to die

Paralysis trickles down the neck

I knelt before the Spire of Fear
And the misery was swept away
I felt the void seep through fissure
And my soul go the other way
A fear of the future

Hope falls like silver rain

In the time to come
Sorrow could await
As I face eternity
I'll never turn away
