Story behind the song
I got back from a really wonderful religious retreat with some freinds and wanted to do something with a more religious touch in audio, so here it is
Lyrics
Its a long time comin till the rain stops running down the gutters Till the shutters don't shudder until the wieght of the clouds As they burst to the ground , leaving trails of lost souls , In pales of lost gold , I'm frail and cold , Stuttering as tales are told , And wondering as the days grow old , The works would I question, What trials I would mention , Is there life existing in a parallel dimension , What good is the test when , We all are destined to the another trial at the gates , That cowers the best men , We know that we're less than the angels But we're only human The mortals , we can stray but we're faithful ... We can play and be hateful We can lay in the grave and wait till , We're pulled to the gates , Till they we just stay still , Till then we're just waiting , Till then we're just patient , Till then the ages are pages that sages have written The snake is slithering and bending to rhythms I'm printing through written lyrics .... I'm blessed ... I feel it ... caressing my spirit I hear it .... With a look into the past , I realize and reminise looking back , On the things we did , the things we learned ... Looking to the sky I see the birds , And boheamoth herds of clouds just soaring all through the sky , Through watering eyes , looking at her laying on the alter to die , It alters my mind , It alters the lines ... That are creasing my face , my breathing intakes a lethal mistake , Now leaving this state , I'm bleeding it's late , From my head to my feet every single region is taped, Bloody bandages cover this disease will take , The demon that breaks into the soul beneath the decay. And now as my breathing does fade ... I can finally place my gaze upon the King of all saints ... Stepping into the Kingdom the one that does save me .... I am finally lain to peace ..
