Judgment Lyrics

The nights of sleeplessness

Driven by self-loathing

Through endless days

I walked in living slumber

Never awake it seemed

Not ready yet to die

It seemed I just might see the light

But then I tried to find my own way

I never thought I'd have to face my judgment

I never thought I'd have to face what I've done

A self-styles intellect

Fueled by self-indulgence

In an age of reason

No reason left more me

To search my heart

Everything they tried to say

I threw it back at them

All the doubts their words created

Buried and forgotten

Until now

I never thought I'd ever face my judgment

I never thought I'd have to face eternity

A life of falling away

A never-ending string of lies to myself

Always a master of my fate

Until my judgment

He never gave up trying

To free me from my past

To write my name down

In his living book

He could only knock

And try to push it open

I held it shut

Unwilling to give in

Now that I'm alone

Self pity is my king

I'm on my knees

But there's no worship here

Echoes of a screaming voice

Hammer in my head

A tortured sound

With no relief

The anguish is my own

I never thought I'd ever face my judgment

I never thought I'd have to face eternity

A life of falling away

A never-ending string of lies to myself

Always a master of my fate

Until my judgment

Thy kingdom come

Is what they prayed

I never thought that there could be truth to it all

"You never knew me"

Is what He said

And passed His judgment

A life of falling away

A never-ending string of lies to myself

Always a master of my fate

Until my judgment
