Surrender light, hold on to your essence
The inner fight shows upon your presence
It surrounds me, the animal held within
It confounds me in the year of the carnal sin
Held within the flame, twisted and tangled
He who knew no shame lies with his strangled heart
Heart
Love lies still, bleeding on the floor
The quiet reveals what our persistence has scored
It surrounds me, those who fall from grace
It confounds me, those who take their place
Held within the flame, twisted and tangled
He who knew no shame lies with his strangled heart
Here we stand in the face of the coming Lord
And outstretched hand welcomes us aboard
It surrounds me, those who wait too long
It confounds me, the meek over the strong
Held within the flame, twisted and tangled
He who knew no shame lies with his strangled heart
Held within the flame, twisted and tangled
He who knew no shame lies with his strangled heart
Heart, heart
The strangled heart
