From the recording The Encountering
Lyrics
Verse 1
Thought I was climbing out of the dark,
Knuckles white, holding on so tight,
But the shadows whispered, called me back,
And I fell into the night.
Pre-Chorus
Bruised and broken, I hit the ground,
Promises shattered, a deafening sound.
Chorus
I made a mistake, the guilt's like fire,
Burning deep inside, can't climb higher.
But I won't be a slave to this pain,
Gonna find my peace, break these chains.
Verse 2
Days turned to nights in a hazy blur,
Chasing ghosts of who I used to be,
Lost my way, forgot my worth,
But I'll fight back, just wait and see.
Pre-Chorus
In the mirror, I see the fall,
But I hear the call, it's time to stand tall.
Chorus
I made a mistake, the guilt's like fire,
Burning deep inside, can't climb higher.
But I won't be a slave to this pain,
Gonna find my peace, break these chains.
Bridge
God, grant me the serenity,
To accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference, man.
Solo
Chorus
I made a mistake, the guilt's like fire,
Burning deep inside, can't climb higher.
But I won't be a slave to this pain,
Gonna find my peace, break these chains.
Outro
Mistakes may haunt, but they won't define,
I'll rise again, and reclaim what's mine.
In this battle, I'll find my name,
Forgiven, redeemed, I'll rise from shame.
