BECAUSE OF YOU I BEAR ALL THINGS PRESENT / BUILDING UP THIS FAR HAS NOT ALWAYS BEEN PLEASANT / I HOPE YOU HAVE SOMETHING GREAT FOR ME / BUT YOU NEVER SAID THAT THIS WOULD BE EASY / I’VE HAD MY BATTLES WITH INSANITY AND DEPRESSION TRIES TO GET A GRIP ON ME / I WON’T SLIP BENEATH THE SURFACE / I WON’T LIVE MY LIFE VOID OF PURPOSE / WALLS MADE OF FLESH FALL DOWN / TOWERS WITNESS, BOW DOWN / TOWERS WITNESS THE RISING OF A DEAD MAN / COME FOLLOW ME AND THINGS COULD END BADLY / THE BLOOD OF SAINTS CRIES OUT / NO PRICE IS TOO HIGH FOR THE SAKE OF ETERNITY / NEVER PROMISING COMFORT OR SUCCESS / YOU SAID I WOULD LIVE DETACHED FROM THIS DEATH NEST / CHRIST ALONE IS MY REWARD / AND ETERNITY IS MY PORTION / SAVE ME FROM THIS DEATH NEST / THIS LIFE IS A GIFT, ONE I CHOOSE TO CHERISH / WE’RE ALL LIVING ON BORROWED TIME / WE USE THIS TIME TO HEAP DEBT ON OUR SOULS / DEPRAVITY HAS TAKEN MAN’S CONTROL



Behind the Song:
"Depravity has taken man’s control” is referring to the doctrine called total depravity - Josiah Hughes
