Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest lyrics

My heart is deceived by
My eyes my actions in the name of beauty
I'm sickened and strangled
By myself that I would allow an unyielded desire to lead me astray
Put to shame by my lack of trust I confess my faults with tears

Manifestations of Your grace fill me
Revelations of forgiveness wounds healed by wounds
The Father's mercy
Peace beyond understanding love from You

Let me not exist for a fair desire sweet and fresh
Are my expectations of this inner strength
That yearns passionately
For the endowment of the Father
I sow in tears that later I shall reap in joy
Each drop that I sow will be a time of breaking [3x]

Come Holy Spirit empower Your creation
Through times of breaking the planting of tears as I am broken
Your presence grows stronger

My sight finally returns only to see my hands
covered with the innocent blood of those
i stand before as an example and i hold this ember
in my heart it reminds me what everything once was
it's the only warmth i know ember of
Your faithfulness ember of Your still small voice
ember of embracing arms ember of rebirth to
You my King i offer up this ember for the wind

In a time of quietness I reflect on childhood memories
Caught wisping through my mind
Falling leaves create the stage
Words spoken were not cherished
On the last day of our friendship
And those words were possibly the last
What were your thoughts

As a dreaming child I awaken to a nightmare
After a gentle nudge I find out you're gone

When you shut your eyes and fell asleep
Dark clouds descended on the souls of the ones
Who held you close to their hearts
Close to their hearts

My heart broke [3x]
Open [4x]

The beauty of an embrace a place
To lay down the pain
Where blood and fire bring rest and peace [4x]

I sit away in a secret place the shadow of wings
I think of you [7x]
And my heart breaks open

I remember the first war, the way the sky burned
The faces of angels destroyed
I saw a third of Heaven's legion banished
And the creation of hell
I stood with my brothers and watched lucifer fall
But now, my brothers aren't my brothers

Turned away by a misrepresentation
Stained glass and white washed tombs
The hearts of those who spoke to you

Your eyes [2x]
Your eyes search for me [4x]
Your eyes
Your eyes search for me

For so long I've wanted to come home
Held back by lies of serpents and tongues of brothers
Turning a child into an enemy
Turning open arms into closed fists

I could see the reflection in the tears
That made their way down Your face
Onto the ground I kneel upon
They form a river that overtakes me

[Instrumental]

A ring of haze encircles the unshrouded truth within
Another seal is broken as the heavens prepare
To break forth in fulfillment

A blanket of deception is layered on sacred writings
Which contain the thoughts of the One who is Almighty God

A sword unsheathed is drawn bringing legions of demons to their knees
By the covenant prepared before the earth itself still

My strength, my strength fades
My strength fades away
Slowly with the setting sun
The night brought its
Darkness and its storms
And the floods that came
Reflected a dull moon
Violent winds raged beneath the stars that didn't shine
Emptied of myself I fell to the ground

Slowly through the destruction
Came a single quiet voice
And the breath of His words consumed
