Casting My Hooks

There's no way I'm gonna make it out of here alive...

Trapped within the confines of my skin,
I begin to dim.
There's a slow darkening of the light within,
Like and old church hymn
Full of life
Yet pushed to the rim
By time, and by time, and by time.

There's no way I'm gonna make it out of here alive...

No way to survive the curse of the lie,
We're all born here to die
And there's nowhere to hide
From the sickness inside.
We hold on for dear life,
Like the edge of a knife,
But we'll still have to face Afterlife.

There no way I'm gonna find what I need down here...

In this land where the "king" rules by fear.
And the One I love most,
They all thought was a ghost,
And He's waiting for me to draw near.

I choose to hook my life to another time....

Where the purpose and peace is divine.
I know I can't make right all that's broken in life,
So I'm casting my hooks towards the
Light.
