D.O.D. Songtext

von 38th Parallel

If there's one thing i learn, it's that i never learn.
If there's one thing i see, it's that i don't want to see
That i've got a problem. I need a solution.

I've made myself blind to my souls pollution.
I can never seem to get it straight.
I try on my own to find a way to compensate
For all this emptiness inside.
Child of my pride, i'm a slave!

Spirit come down and light my fire again.
Pick me up from the ground with your love, God.
Give me your peace. Hear my cry, Father.
Make me a slave to your truth.
Because your truth will set me free.

I declare my dependence on you.
I'm a failure without you, mighty Savior.
My soul screams of your awesome power.
Bring my darkness to it's final hour.

I declare my dependence on you.
I'm a failure without you, mighty Savior.
My soul screams of your awesome power.
Bring my darkness to it's final hour.

The reflection in the mirror is of a decayed face.
The Shadow of a warrior crushed & wasted.
I'm tasting a bitter cup of pain.

And i've only got myself to blame for the loss.
I'm a victim of my own desire.
And i'm burnt by the flames of my own fire.
It's time that i woke up, surrendered my life,
Came to you and took my cross up.

Spirit come down and light my fire again.
Pick me up from the ground with your love, God.
Give me your peace. Hear my cry, Father.
Make me a slave to your truth.
Because your truth will set me free.

I declare my dependence on you.
I'm a failure without you, mighty Savior.
My soul screams of your awesome power.
Bring my darkness to it's final hour.

I declare my dependence on you.
I'm a failure without you, mighty Savior.
My soul screams of your awesome power.
Bring my darkness to it's final hour.

I'm straining at the shackles on my wrist.
They beg me to enlist in the corps of the defeated.
Retreated from my hope for light,
I forfeit my freedom and embrace this night.

But what was dark is light,
And what seemed wrong is right;
The contradiction of existence claims my sight.
And then he comes to me.

Spirit come down and light my fire again.
Pick me up from the ground with your love, God.
Give me your peace. Hear my cry, Father.
Make me a slave to your truth.
Because your truth will set me free.

I declare my dependence on you.
I'm a failure without you, mighty Savior.
My soul screams of your awesome power.
Bring my darkness to it's final hour.

I declare my dependence on you.
I'm a failure without you, mighty Savior.
My soul screams of your awesome power.
Bring my darkness to it's final hour.

I declare my dependence on you.
I'm a failure without you, mighty Savior.
My soul screams of your awesome power.
Bring my darkness to it's final hour.

I declare my dependence on you.
I'm a failure without you, mighty Savior.
My soul screams of your awesome power.
Bring my darkness to it's final hour.
