Lyrics by M.Corbitt

Father, I have to leave,
My message for souls to keep,
Mother the gift of life,
I take to the others for all time,

Listen, this is your quest,
To regain what was lost,
In the garden when you could see,
Everything was yours eternally,

This blood I will shed for you,
My life I will give to you,
Accept this gift when you hear my story,
When you see my body on the evening star,

I come to mark the days,
Beware the powerful the bold and the brave,
Sitting on the throne of the dead,
The weak and the merciful,
Blessings their way,

Remember me when I pass,
Let love be your guiding light,
Put aside the ways of the fallen one,
And you will be as one with me,

This blood I will shed for you,
My life I will give to you,
Accept this gift when you hear my story,
When you see my body on the evening star,

Father can you hear me,
In this world,this world of pain,
Mother will you pray for me,
Find me worthy when I pass your way.
