While You Breathe

WHILE YOU BREATHE

While you breathe, the world sleep

And the sun burns, and the nights’ creep

Yet it seems like nothing is in their right places

And your red heart turns blue with time

Then your loud voice sublimes while you sink

And you fall down, and death winks

And these red roses drive you through pain and disgust

And the walls of your belief crumble to dust

There in your heart is a place

Built from an iota of vanity

You steal through all the paths of this world

And nearer you are drawn into its crevices

We are going, the choir sings

Not even Heaven knows where you go

You are a mouse trapped in a mouse hole

Filled with the tears of a slave

You are too scared to pray

Because the world cough and sneeze

While their temperature rise

They burn the remnants of your peace

Oh how sudden!

That you crush your faith in the Most High

Oh how sudden!

That you forsake the souls that fade into ghost life

Babylon burns you, tries to bend you

Do you feel forsaken by God –

Who saved you from all doom?

Who cared while in the womb of He that birthed you?

Gird up your loins, decorated soldier!

Stand up, for the watch is on!

You are the sun

So let your glory shine!

Stand up, let time bow to your God!

Let all death's shadows fade in a wink

Bury your grievances

See victory come, see; create the link

Rise up, the mountains do seem great

But they are just a heap of sand and rocks

Know you are made of something greater –  

The Blood of Christ, which weathers every rock!

While you breathe, the Abyss deepen

Is there more time, or we are just sleeping?
