Far Beyond Death
07:03
|

Death has cast its shadow on you
But do not fall in dismay
It is but a doorway
We all must cross one day
The winds of change
Are here
The life once known is gone
Fading
Enter the realm where time has no grip
Pass through the gateway
Far beyond the reach of death
There is a place of pure life
only to be found
Through faith in Jesus Christ
Life is but a breath
A fleeting moment in the fabric of existence
Enter a place where death cannot dwell
Where no mind can fathom the glory
Far beyond the reach of death
There is a place of pure life
only to be found
Through faith in Jesus Christ

Ending It All
06:32
|

This world has drained the soul
And wearing this mask took its toll
A place where once we dined
Held the reason for all to find
My complacency
I was too blind to see
Deep feelings of despair
Write the note, your heart laid bare
Ignoring signs leading to the fall
Pull the trigger and end it all
Step into His light
Don't give up the fight
You are worth more
A soul worth fighting for
There is not a single life You don't see
God help me be a better me
And reach out to the one in need
Forgive me for my apathy
Step into His light
Don't give up the fight
You are worth more
A soul worth fighting for

Slipping Away
07:58
|

Bleeding internally
Legs go numb
Hurting inside
Your face trying to hide the pain
I feel you slipping away
As I hold you tight
I feel you slipping away
As you descend into the night
You kiss my cheek
as if to say it's okay
My end is here
I'm on my way
I feel you slipping away
As I hold you tight
I feel you slipping away
As you descend into the night
-solo-
In a single day
The sunshine turned to rain
Happiness turned to mourning
As you were released from all your pain
I felt you slip away
Crossing the bridge to the other side
I felt you slip away
As you ascend into the light

Ashes
05:48
|
|||
I have lived a full life
Journeyed to distant shores
Explored the beauty of the land
Sailed the oceans of the north
-solo-
No longer will I roam
The trumpet calls me home
The piano plays its sweet melody
Holding onto my memory
To those I left behind
I pray that peace you will find
No longer will I roam
I have gone to my final home
Spread my ashes
across the earth
Don't weep over me
but remember me

Blue to Gray
07:01
|

It cuts me deep to see you suffer
Day by day losing your strength
The oxygen deprived within your blood
Slowly struggling to take a breath
Christmas Day
was the last I saw you
the last time to embrace you
and tell you that I love you
Two weeks later was the last we spoke
Revealing plans to see you soon
To celebrate another year of life
Unaware saying our final goodbye
Received ominous word
Early on a Sunday morning
Holding back the tears
I receive the news
Your heartbeat regressed
Through the night
Struggled to awaken from sleep
I remember the sky that day
How it changed from blue to gray
The cold came rushing in
and the clouds poured forth their rain
The rain turned to snow
Blanketing the ground in pure white
All became so calm
And your spirit took flight

Only Memories
07:34
|
|||
A yearning for contact
The feeling ignored
Now it's too late
Disbelief overtakes me
As I pick up the phone
No more life
The ones we should have seen
The words we should have said
What was has come and gone
The ones we should have seen
The words we should have said
What was has come and gone
Now only memories live on
Received the call
One hour before the funeral
Succumbed to addiction
Now I stare at your corpse
The ones we should have seen
The words we should have said
What was has come and gone
The ones we should have seen
The words we should have said
What was has come and gone
Mourners pass the body
Was the fix worth the price?
One last look to remember
Tears and sorrow
Engulfs the congregation
Ingesting the pain
Of a life gone too soon

We Carried Your Body
08:00
|
|||
Three by three
We carried your body
To the field
Of the dead
The rain was cold
The air was thick
The north wind wrapped around my neck
Sending chills deep within
The gathering shivers
Hearing the final words
“From ash to ash
dust to dust”
The rain was cold
The air was thick
The north wind wrapped around my neck
Sending chills deep within
As loved ones gathered
To hear the final eulogy
They lowered your body down
Deep into the ground
The celebration of your life
As mourners gather round
Now the Almighty God beckons you
To receive your Heavenly Crown

Expiration of life befalls again
Drink the potion to numb the pain
Drowning your grief, it left its mark
And your slowly drifting into the dark
Convinced it has become the answer
Dependency grows like cancer
Reliance to keep the hurt at bay
Embrace the demons, pushing the angels away
Consuming every fiber of life
Weaving manipulation and a tangled web of lies
Convinced it has become the answer
Dependency grows like cancer
Reliance to keep the hurt at bay
Embrace the demons, pushing the angels away
Secretly ingest the substance
While imbibing the sweet nectar
Eyes roll back, the tongue hardens
The draining of life halted as the needle revives
The lights went out, the mind was lost
A cold awakening in a concrete box
The dagger slices the wrist
Blood pools upon the sheets
Yet all is not lost
Was it your soul you gave
Has life or death been found
When eternity descends upon your grave?
