Down Deep into the Pain

So naive, so innocent

Thrust in a world too intense

Flesh is weak but the soul is strong

And you will bleed but you'll carry on

Yes you need your pain

Life is pain

I could hold your hand

But you must take your pain

I don't need sacrifice, I don't need advice

This hurt surrounds me like a dissonance

Anger is power

I use it to protect myself from insanity

You gotta go down deep down into the pain

Let it purge your soul like flesh to a razor blade

Dig down deep into the pain

Surrender surrender

Drift into euphoria

Time may never heal the wounds

Hearts bleed hard even the sun cries moon

Fate is tragic just for heaven's sake

The good Lord giveth and taketh away

'Cause you need your pain

God gave us pain

I can hold you in my arms

But I can't take away your pain

I am not long for this world

Please save me from myself and my discipline

Lashing out with tight fists in despair

My plight is running from reality

Put yourself down deep into the pain

Embrace the bliss of pure sensation

You can't escape from ultimate pain

So let your senses drift into euphoria

Blood is thickest when love is bold

But blood runs thin when the heart grows cold

So you need your pain, we all need pain

We were born into this world

To feel the joy of all our pain

The falling will be gentle and soothing but the awakening will be as riveting as an explosion. Eyes open to total darkness, body floating in encompassing tranquility, and then the voice came.

"Hear this voice and know that it will be with you always".

Phantoms of opulent auras emblazoned in a repulsively lush turmoil of incomprehensible vastness, dance in a sea of timeless infinity.

Is this the voice of my God?

This is the voice of liberation.

Man, you've got to be kidding me.

Go forth and rise to life rise

You will have the freedom to think

And choose as you wish

What do I choose?

You choose in the moment

Your life will be shaped around your choices

And the fight is on

Every minute of every day

Every action in every way

Is every creature's expression to

Be one with its creator

From a simple prayer to a senseless murder

Where do I find you when I need you?

You will search and you will question.

Worship me in your joy and curse me in your pain.

You will fight, kill and love in my name

But I have no name

Always keep in your thoughts that life is good

But do not fear death

For I am closer to you than your very own breath

And I love you

And I want you to know me

Now beautiful life awaits you

And when I count to 3

You will awake and you will remember everything I've said
