In Other Words

Today I have guest blogger (he doesn't know it quite yet.) He has put words to emotions that at one time I couldn't express. This song hit me the other day. It is good. Scratch that, really good.

You began this war
I'm here to end it
Rise against me
Your world will fall

 I lay me down to sleep
my soul I war to keep
angels fight around my bed
You don't know what's in my head
I lay you down to sleep
kiss of death upon your cheek
buried with your lies
no longer my demise

Goodnight, goodbye
Heartache and past
Judgment won't defeat me
Break me, bleed me
I'm still standing
judgment won't defeat me

Look in the mirror
look at your life
Hold close your judgment
it's all you have

The war is over
I'll rise above it
The war is over
I'll rise above it
I broke my chains
Now I'm free
I broke my chains
Now I'm free

I burned it all down
And rose above the ash
Forged in the fire
I found new strength
In who I am
This is my last goodbye

Goodnight, goodbye
Heartache and past
Judgment won't defeat me
Break me, bleed me
I'm still standing
judgment won't defeat me

I burned it all down
And rose above the ashes
I close my eyes now
lay my past to rest
Goodnight

The words..."I burned it all down and rose above the ash. Forged in the fire I found new strength in who I am. This is my last goodbye" speak so much to my journey over the last few years. I have some thoughts about this and more rolling around in my head- it's formulating some where in there and when I organize it out of the mumbo jumbo it is now, I'll post it.

Oh and to give credit where it is definitely due..  This song is Judgement's Lullaby-Street Thieves
