The Crushing Weight of Eternity - Tourniquet

From glaring spectral visions of unholy light

Funneled through a sad and broken kaleidoscope

Focus knob snapped off a long time ago

Bitterly sinking now you’re your own foe

Day after month after year after decade

Slipping away cuz your mind up you’ve made

Like a nagging dream — «a better life is out there»

Reaching out our hand a hand reaches right back to ours

Confusion starts to clear — a path appears before us

Should I trust the hand that I have never seen before?

The image is scrambled no reason to hope

The colors are there but in darkness we grope

A random arrangement of photons in tatters

Believing the lie that our life never matters

Reach your hand — He’ll reach back

Lead — Poland

Reach your hand — He’ll reach back

The crushing weight of eternity

Deafening moment for you and me

The weight is lifted when we choose to walk the path He offers

Kaleidoscope He hands to us — the focus clear — it’s time to trust

The broken lens is paid for by the blood shed on the cross

Lead — Poland
