My Epic - Beloved

[Verse 1]
There are no nights now
When I don't I dream and wake in the darkness
To find I've been weeping
But it has been ages
Since I've cried while awake

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause centuries wear on the heart
They erode it away

[Chorus]
I'm still trying to record each word You spoke
And if I finish I'll fill up this earth
But the memory of Your voice leaves me empty

[Verse 2]
Cause I've been banished and boiled alive
And yet I remain
And they still call me by name
But they don't say it the same

[Verse 3]
I watched all of my brothers
Become martyrs and die one at a time
But I often wonder if waiting for You is the harder sacrifice

[Chorus]

[Bridge/Outro]
I may be feeble and barely alive
But I've yet to forget a single word that You said
If my voice breaks down
And all of the strength gives out
And I'm just a shell left breathing my last days out
(Let if be known) that time is a thief who surely steals everything
But in my case it just cleaned out the waste for me
Nothing has dimmed;
You have simply eclipsed all that stood in the way
I'd give 20 more lifetimes;
It would all be the same
In the end, I know I'll find You will come once again
You'll come call me by name
