lyrics
"A Path to Sorrow" lyrics:
You get one life or so they told me
So make it count and live it plenty
My soul was black
Dead and heavy
What have I done to me
Past present and the future
Colliding to betray your values
Beware temptation from the liar
He's laughing and warping your desires
Tears you shed continue falling
Leading your soul towards the fire
Make your choice it's your tomorrow
Taking that road is a path of sorrow
Grief grips me like fear
I’m not ashamed of tears
Falling on deaf ears
Love abandoned me
Heaven knows my shame
Will I sleep again
Even though I try
Pain becomes my friend
This path is the end
Past present and the future
Colliding to betray your values
Beware temptation from the liar
He's laughing and warping your desires
Tears you shed continue falling
Leading your soul towards the fire
Make your choice it's your tomorrow
Taking that road is a path to sorrow
They will lie to you
They will defile you
They don't love you
They will blind you
Don't compromise your soul
I reconnected with my savior
Sucked out the poison repaired the suture
Got back on track a true survivor
Look what He did for me
Past present and the future
Colliding to betray your values
Beware temptation from the liar
He's laughing and warping your desires
Tears you shed continue falling
Leading your soul towards the fire
Make your choice it's your tomorrow
Taking that road is a path to sorrow
Past present and the future
Colliding to betray your values
Beware temptation from the liar
He's laughing and warping your desires
Tears you shed continue falling
Leading your soul towards the fire
Make your choice it's your tomorrow
Taking that road is a path to sorrow
