Redemption

from In Parables by Adeste

lyrics

Lets rewrite tradition; Remove corruption from our stride and appraise the meaning of our lives. I thrive on division but I'm abandoning my pride. I'm seeking redemption, I want the love that I denied. The laws that governed us through youth provoke the ventures we pursue but now this weakness devours my bones and the curtains begin to close. Fear emerges with visions of death and all my sin. Are we the parable of failure? Sleep is such a gracious thief; It steals my time but give me strength. I had a dream I descending, drifting further from the light. My whisper's begging for redemption. Is it enough to motion life? Dear God I come lost and seeking love. Despite my past you've forgiven me. Now I wake on the road and I rise to my feet. I see the blood on my hands. I'm recalling my sins. The color fades with his touch. Redemption runs through my blood. Looking back on my venture; the doors they locked to keep me safe. Safe from the unknown and world that thrives on almost everything but faith. Running from tradition brought me to the sea. There I found a woman waiting who offered shelter in the city that she lived but vices sentenced me to death. Aboard a ship I was to die but the captain saw potential in my life, when my feat touched the shore his grace was ignored and I buried my worth in sand. Far off the path that I began I found love but I was forced to watch it drown. Revenge compelled me to burn my past alive and give into my demise. But my father tells me no, "son continue on this road."
Down this path we proceed. Keeping faith in our reach.
