Alter Of Scars

A song of love and worship. Lyrics I wear the armor I carry the weight I stand in the darkness And tempt my fate No one can know What lives underneath The forbidden oath on my lips The silent prayer in my teeth I take the blade I take the flame I take the wounds in her holy name I never falter I never flee For every wound Brings her to me She speaks my name and i feel peace another wound to prove my belief No one can see Behind this steel The altar of scars That she has healed YOU ARE THE LIGHT BEHIND MY SHIELD THE ONLY TRUTH I WILL REVEAL WHEN ALL THE HEAVENS TURN AWAY I BOW BEFORE THE LIGHT YOU MAKE LET EVERY BLADE BE LAID ON ME LET EVERY WOUND BECOME MY CREED UPON MY SKIN MY ALTER FOR YOU EVERY SCAR THE SCRIPTURE OF MY TRUTH I call it duty She calls it trust She pulls me from The blood and rust She never sees When I kneel After the battle A mountain of steel I touch the ground Where She once stood I whisper prayers beneath my hood Not to the gods Not to the saints Their names mean nothing When SHE ALONE decides my fate They think this armor Guards my soul They think this shield Makes me whole But every scar Upon my skin Is proof that She Has called me back again YOU ARE THE LIGHT BEHIND MY SHIELD THE ONLY TRUTH I WILL REVEAL WHEN ALL THE HEAVENS TURN AWAY I BOW BEFORE THE LIGHT YOU MAKE LET EVERY BLADE BE LAID ON ME LET EVERY WOUND BECOME MY CREED UPON MY SKIN MY ALTER FOR YOU EVERY SCAR THE SCRIPTURE OF MY TRUTH ! I have no altar... So I kneel upon my scars. I have no scripture... So I carve your words into my heart. I have no crown... So I lower my head. I have no faith... So I worship her instead. They think I raise my shield To protect the ones behind me. They think I fight To prove im strong. But I am only waiting For the moment I fall... Only then can feel her light Find me again. YOU ARE THE LIGHT BEHIND MY SHIELD THE SACRED TRUTH I WILL CONCEAL LET EVERY MONSTER COME FOR ME I'LL DIE BEFORE THEY REACH YOUR LIGHT TAKE THE WOUNDS, I TAKE THE PAIN I OFFER EVERYTHING I AM AND IF MY BODY SHOULD BREAK AND BEND BY YOUR GRACE ILL RISE AGAIN YOU ARE THE HAND THAT PULLS ME THROUGH THE ONLY LIGHT I BOW UNTO THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW I SPEAK YOUR NAME BUT I WILL WORSHIP YOU THE SAME You think I serve the cause. You think I guard the weak. You think I fight for everyone. But you are the reason... I will not cease. #worldofwarcraft #healer #tank #music
