Forgive you

[VERSE 1] I called you brother, put my faith in your hands, And watched you bury all my trust in the sands. You turned away the second trouble came around, Leaving my spirit broken on the ground. I held no shield against the blade in my spine, Forgiving you, my friend, is how I claim what's mine. [VERSE 2] And to my love, who doubted every dream I made, And watched my hopes slowly crumble and fade. You thought my visions were just dust in the wind, Leaving me broken where the dark roads begin. I carry no poison, no more tears to cry, I forgive you now as I bid it goodbye. [CHORUS] In days of desperation, I still find strength to rise! Walking through the ashes with no fear inside my eyes! Without shame, without feelings, stripped of sadness, free from pain! Just a faceless grey memory of what used to bear my name! To my friend, to my love, to the Lord up above— I forgive you for the loss, I forgive the heavy cost! Thank you for the hammer that forged me on this cross! I FORGIVE! In days of desperation, I still find strength to rise! Walking through the ashes with no fear inside my eyes! Without shame, without feelings, stripped of sadness, free from pain! Just a faceless grey memory of what used to bear my name! To my friend, to my love, to the Lord up above— I forgive you for the loss, I forgive the heavy cost! Thank you for the hammer that forged me on this cross! I FORGIVE! [VERSE 3] And to the Lord above who wrote this heavy path, Who tested every bone and broke me in His wrath. You gave me burdens far too heavy to bear, And left me screaming at an empty sky in prayer. I ask no questions now, I hold no bitter grudge, I forgive You, God, as You stand as my judge. [VERSE 4] Look at me now, I am the product of your storm, A cold new fire where the ashes used to form. Without the betrayal and the doubts in my head, I never would have risen from the place of the dead. Thank you for making me the man I am today, You burned the old me, but you built a wall of clay! [CHORUS] In days of desperation, I still find strength to rise! Walking through the ashes with no fear inside my eyes! Without shame, without feelings, stripped of sadness, free from pain! Just a faceless grey memory of what used to bear my name! To my friend, to my love, to the Lord up above— I forgive you for the loss, I forgive the heavy cost! Thank you for the hammer that forged me on this cross! I FORGIVE! In days of desperation, I still find strength to rise! Walking through the ashes with no fear inside my eyes! Without shame, without feelings, stripped of sadness, free from pain! Just a faceless grey memory of what used to bear my name! To my friend, to my love, to the Lord up above— I forgive you for the loss, I forgive the heavy cost! Thank you for the hammer that forged me on this cross! I FORGIVE!
