Underoath – The Last

these fingers so frail paint in my mind

scars down the back of my eyes

death walks with me alone tonight

the coldness whispers it’s almost near

rest for soon it will be over

years flash before my and i understand why i’m here

no one will ever know, as the pictures come clear

don’t worry they tell me this feeling won’t last forever

voices beating their drums in my heart

the water looks so peaceful below and the struggle lets go

climbing over the wall of life’s edge

leaving behind the smiles of yesterday

the light that shined has vanished to a grayscale of night

tears once present now look into the dryness inside

silent words enter the sky screamed

from this body as a reply, and these words begin to write

dear lord, if these break the earth

and enter your courts save me tonight

time is short and the hurt of death grows with every breath

here i am at the end

this wall that blocked you out for so long opens wide

and i begin to burn from the inside

i’ll never forget that night

the night Jesus Christ made the blackness white
