TRAMPLED BLOOD

here's one more. this was actually the first song i came up with and it inspired the overall idea for the album - just finished editing the lyrics to my liking.

Trampled Blood

i’ve stayed away for so long
without ever really leaving
i’ve traveled back too many miles
thru my mind’s dark ravine

some days a clustered woodland
other days an empty plain
yet bound within this fading skin
each day just seems the same

forgive me Lord

You know I...did not mean

to trample on Your blood
but like a tramp, I wandered thru

forgive me Lord

You know I...did not mean

to trample on Your blood
but I’m a tramp, & I know that it’s true

a light within a mine shaft
a secret unrevealed
a woeful sham, the way I’ve wandered
thru Your open fields

and though I’ve cried forsaken
only You know how it feels
to be the one whose love is squandered
whose pardon is concealed

forgive me Lord

You know I...did not mean

to trample on Your blood
but like a tramp, I wandered thru

forgive me Lord

You know I...did not mean

to trample on Your blood
but I’m a tramp, & I know that it’s true

release me from the haunting of
the lonesome words that call my name
release me from the haunting of
the words that hold me to my blame

i’ve spoken like a mantra
in fear & lonesome doubt
words that died, before they rose up
from my hollow heart

and You see my love-light waning
that once burned pure & bright
The fire’s died, my ember smolders
Like a sunset’s fading light

forgive me Lord

You know I...did not mean

to trample on Your blood
but like a tramp, I wandered thru

forgive me Lord

You know I...did not mean

to trample on Your blood
but I’m a tramp, & I know that it’s true
