And now I sit in thought as the plot of my days commences   And I'm left with fences   Put off the thoughts of my end so long to race   To chase after the trend so fleeting      Hours pass unsettled, unresolved my passions   I scrape to win a new day to waste   Misaligned priorities parallel my desires   I hide my eyes to avoid embrace      I smell the stench, unavoidable approach comes against   And yet I'm left asking the question   Denied a way to defend the thoughts   That this side equates with what awaits      I'm ripping right through the masses, sacrifice into ashes   Giving up what was past tense, raising up like Lazarus   I laugh at the strongman who thought he had control   A hold on my eternity-eternal is Christ empowers me      Like the faith that builds my strength   Is like your dreams that fade away   The battlefield we soldiers play   I dance with life beyond the grave      And jah' knows that I will never rest my head, no time for us to sleep   We concentrate on the son until our eyes bleed   Salvation carries a cost, we must prevail   Death creeps like the breeze, but have no fear, watch me inhale      Temporary bliss, the depths await   My burial as the hours seem as seconds   The end of your bliss is coming face the path and sip the last   Embrace ends-every day a new day to die      Dies time, the former life is past   Blind side, I know what awaits my fate   Hates breath, unavoidable ceasing of days   Today is a good day to die
