self destruction

Sodom, keep your arms wide open for I am coming
Gomorra embrace me, sinful city
For there is no understanding this unbearable feeling
That eats me night and day and destroys me

Come on ! Let me dive in you, Pagan cities
and let my beggar-heart taste your sins
Swallow me and let me hide from His sight
Which carries so much love that it freaks me out

Babylon, are you the painful thorn
That God forbade his angels to free me from ?
Go on then, poison me ! Faithless city.
'cause if I only could I'd let you drown me.

Why can't you keep my eyes from seeing
And my heart from aching ?
Why can't you cut the rope that ties me to Jerusalem
And save me from my shame ?
Oh, why can't you keep away the guiltiness ?

I can feel His tender gaze on my soul
Sending cold shrills up my spine
And I can feel Him trying to get my outta my hole


Only I want none of that light
That might reveal who I really am
I want to dwell in the night
Or run away from the shame in the flight

But even the highest fortress
Can not hide your children from You
And God, it is out of breath
That I turn around to confront you

And I can no longer hide for you are just before me
I can no longer survive, for the desert standing in front of me
And I can no longer breath as the seas overwhelm me
I can no longer flee, for this is what I'm meant to be

I am down on my knees before my God
Pleading tears are running down my cheeks
Will you free me from this corpse my Lord ?
I know that my sins weren't so cheap

In the middle of the soulstorm
I heard his footsteps come
In the middle of the Tempest
I felt his love gently pressing against my chest

From the depths of my heart the light explodes
Making my faults ever more so painful
And yet they become much more bearable
As you are, God, more precious than Gold

I lay down at your feet
All the fight that was my defeat
I was humiliated when I could've been humble
But it was my own choices that made me stumble

Jerusalem, my heart rejoices For our God is forever loving and faithful
