lyrics

Fearing the wind of the dark times
Never seen an end
Just trusting in the Holy Bible
The only warmth I get here

Be aware of the demons
Shape the axe and sword
Almost useless against
The masses awaiting me

My face is fraught with pain and despair
My blood is running down my legs
The beast wants to take my soul
No matter how long I fight or beg

I follow the path of thorns and Stones
The way Christ told me to go
Remember the lines of the holy book
I will stand and stay the course

In this night I hardly sleep
Know every kind of nightmares
But am I hopeless?
Look in my eyes! Nothing to see!

I’m standing on a hill
Looking in every direction
Seeing nothing but darkness
Just a few meters of the path, and I follow…

My face is fraught with pain and despair
My blood is running down my legs
The beast wants to take my soul
No matter how long I fight or beg

I follow the path of thorns and Stones
The way Christ told me to go
Remember the lines of the holy book
I will stand and stay the course

Oh God, bless my life
Let me not fall
Protect me
In this darkened night

While I am sneaking through the night
I hear an angst-ridden scream
And something dangerous bawling
His victim without any chance

Ignore it! There’s nothing you can do!
Wait, remember the lines of the book…
Turning around to where the screams have come
Running and lifting the sword…

My face is fraught with pain and despair
My blood is running down my legs
The beast wants to take my soul
No matter how long I fight or beg

I follow the path of thorns and Stones
The way Christ told me to go
Remember the lines of the holy book
I will stand and stay the course

Oh Jesus, be my light
Be my guide
On this weird path
In my lifelong fight

For the first time in my life
I am not just reading
I’m realizing
What is life beyond
