Ashes of Time
Temperamental tears
and devotional swears
Simple minded thoughts
that I just didn't care
Justified rights
causing disruption in faith
Complication over mindset
withdrawing to my fears
Calmed over nerves
and a resolution to prayer
I was selfish
screaming to myself
that it's just not fair
So with frenzied piercing cries
and cold founded tears
now wiped away
I'm still left wondering why
so to the heavens I shout
in need of a way out
Please Lord I admit
that I've lost my way
and now I pray
with eyes full of shameful tears
I still ask thee
why has my love fallen away
Disregard, turning my back
to every word you said
I know I made my bed
I just could not find the words
to admit the price that you've paid
is your love lost
is this the punishment
for my life's crimes
being chained to my old ways
Even though I was lost
You knew my feigned over life
would eventually change
I'm holding on to hope
down on my knees once again
with the sands of time
slipping through my hands
hours seem like days
As I scream out to you
through clenched fists
holding on to the ashes of my time
and on bended knee I plead
help me, I've lost my way
what else can I say
Is all hope lost...
did I seal my fate
and I realize too late
that my forever love
had fallen away
Has your love turned to ash
forever lost to me
like sands through the hourgla**
Then you came to me
with hands out stretched...
I heard your whisper in the wind
And now with no more doubts or fears
I will forever walk with thee
