Lyrics Affliction: The Witness, The Advocate - A Hope For Home

Affliction: The Witness, The Advocate

Assail me and tear me in your anger
All was once well with me, but I’ve led myself here
My pride pulls.
Constantly beckoning me to be something that I’m not
If I say: «My hope is in the grave» and to corruption, «You're my father.»
To the worm, «You're my mother» if my hope is in the grave, then what is left
for me?
«Did you forget what it takes to walk away?
And did you forget I will never
take you past the palm of My hand?»
And I am overcome.
What miserable comforters in the arms of sorrow
With every wound sanctity diminished.
With every scar I feel my soul retreat
Oh earth, do not cover my blood
May my cries never be laid to rest
But if I speak, my pain will not be relieved, and if I refrain, it does not go
away
«Did you forget why I’ve put you here?
And do you even want to know what it
means to be alive?»
Have we forgotten?
And what will be left?
.the pull of my pride takes me away
