Taken For Granted

(album: ...What Remains - 1999)

Feel that flame as burns your skin
No longer at peace, but at war within
You thought you could do it on your own
Now you're in hell with burning chains all alone
I tried so many times to help you, but still denied
I wanted to share heaven with you
But now you're alone in another life
You cry in pain and what remains?
I'm so sorry it had to end like this
I thought you would understand
You could have easily turned around and asked God to forgive
But you just laughed and walked away
To the unbelieving life that you live
You just stood there as they beat him
As the whips tore through his skin
He wanted to cry out in pain
But that wouldn't have freed you from your sin
He asked his father why he was forsaken
But God loved us so much
Christ died to set us free;
God loves us that much...
