Empty Frame - Comrades

The times were dark and days were wild

The first time I believed

Your love would carry me home

But when my enemies came

To curse what I made

My hands would spark the fires of war

Shaking from a love abandoned

I thirst for streams of providence

Weathered into an eclipse of love and hate

I’m overcome by the weapons that they made

From underneath, this battle wears me thin

An empty frame, barely human by the end

Treachery in my blood

Terminal till' undone

Hammered into foreign shape

What did I think I would make?

Betrayed innocence

I have confidence

There is forgiveness

Abba, strike this

Jaw that whispers

Death into my soul

Rip out every root it has grown in me
