Beneath the Encasing of Ashes

Emptiness running through me

Taking all that I am

Reach inside of me

Far beneath the encasing of ashes

Bleeding red

Still showing signs of life

Leaving me this blinding mask

Grasping for the wind

Everything I've done

Everything I've gained

It all means nothing

A mere breath has passed away

Sadness I embrace

Left with empty promises

Spent of all my strength

Relying on Yours

I look at myself and see the scars

That are brought to me by this life

Then I ask myself

Is this all that this world has to give

Through this pain I refine

Tearing me from within

Screaming to be released but held fast by Your love

I have become a sacrifice

I have become a sacrifice (A sacrifice)

In need of you (In need of you)

In need of you
