Marked for Death - Torn

Everyday a struggle

Everyday a fight

Another step in the right direction

Down this path, towards the Light

Each breath a new commitment to see this through

This choice I make, these words I speak

All reflect on You

Words of duplicity

Ruthless lies meant to deceive

Let these words never leave my lips

Let my heart never conceive

Words of hypocrisy

Prideful disrespect

Words of arrogance

They mark a man for death

Marked for Death

I am dependent

Only a man

I can do nothing

Without the hand

Of the Almighty

To hold me fast

My words my falter

Yours words everlast

No longer marked for death.
