Joyous Grave - Greg X. Volz

They said it would be cold here

Said I wouldn’t find a light

Said that all my plans are over

No reason left to fight

It should be full of death here

Darkness swallowing my dreams

But now I know that treasure

Isn’t always where it seems

And the door that shut above me

Is gonna open to the day

Soon you’re gonna wake me from this joyous grave

Call me out and take me from this joyous grave

The only thing I’ve lost here

Is my fear of passin' time

What I sowed in tears I’ll reap with joy

In fact, it’s already arrived

There’s nothin' greater than a promise

When it’s real in your soul

You’re true — I see it clearly now

There’s no way you’d let me go

It’s easy to be patient

When you know the end is sure

Though it’s dark all around me

I believe when I pray

That the door that’s shut above me

Is gonna open to the day
