Redemption

(albüm: LIGHTBRINGER - 2016)

There was a fire behind each eye
He would get quiet when it grew too high
He would go quiet when the flames grew too high
She had a voice, impossibly kind
To calm the rage that rattled in his mind
To quiet the beast that rattled his mind

And no one else looked close enough to see
That he'd been raised so viciously
He kept his voice low out among the free
She said, "You can be yourself with me"

If we can make it to the sunrise
We can surrender our yesterday
And though we make our plans, still we understand
That redemption comes in unfamiliar ways

She had a child far too young
She knew it now with her breast at his tongue
She would go quiet whenever lullabies were sung
He was never allowed to just be a boy
He had decisions where there should have been toys
The trauma heightens what it doesn't destroy

The broken-hearted tend to find the same
Like water, mercy finds it's level
The desperate god of love is such a shame
Keep the hope and leave the shame to the devil
To keep the hope and leave the shame to the devil

If we can make it to the sunrise
We can surrender our yesterday
And though we make our plans, still we understand
That redemption comes in unfamiliar ways
That redemption comes in unfamiliar ways

If we can make it to the sunrise
We can surrender our yesterday
And though we make our plans, still we understand
That redemption comes in unfamiliar ways

If we can make it to the sunrise
We can surrender our yesterday
And though we make our plans, still we understand
That redemption comes in unfamiliar ways
Oh, redemption comes in unfamiliar ways
Redemption comes in unfamiliar ways
