The Better Man - Blood of the Martyrs

Blinding darkness

Frozen to the bone

I see the darkness taking what was once my own life

It seems that she’s taking me underneath these vicious waves

She’s taking me underneath these waves

Dragging me to the depths of the sea

There’s no hope in the open water

with a vessel crippled from front to back

We sail these violent seas

but can we make it to the shore

We sail these violent seas

but can this ship withstand the waves

We sail these violent seas

through the waves

We search the skyline to find the light we’re desperate for

We will make it

We will make it to the shore

Oh God, have we not seen these shipwrecks before?

Like anchors, dragging me away

Pulling me beneath the sea

Pulling me under, pulling me faster, pulling us deep

We are sinking

But in the dark, a glimmer of hope

Man your Stations, man your stations

This ship is sinking

(Pulling me under)

This ship will take me with it

(Pulling me faster)

This ship is sinking

(Pulling me under)

If I choose to give up on it

(Pulling me deeper)

We’ve been fighting this battle this entire time with wounded hearts and

blinded eyes

This ship can’t withstand another restless night

Sailing in the open waters with a fractured compass has left me feeling lifeless

I’ve questioned why I fight this

But I have hope, because I know your lighthouse is on the shore

so for the first time in a long time, I’m not afraid anymore

Hoisting up my hope

I sail through the sea

You are the light

This vessel will not sink!

The light is shining

Cutting through the darkness

We will make it

We will bring this vessel home see less
