Never Bloom


He left us to suffer for the sins that grew within our hearts 
greif stricken I fell on my knees and I cried facing the soil beneath me 
Tears of blood, tears of misery, tears of sorrow 

Sadness not for the loss of life 
But sadness for those who I held dearly within my heart 
They are now in heaven 
and I'm here suffering 
Envy for those who received the gift of paradise 

I am a sinner 
These wings will never bloom 
The dead have turned to dust and returned to the earth 
There souls sent to the deepest confines of haites 
I too will meet the same fate 
I didn't live for god 
We didn't live for god 
In the end all that awaited us was death and eternal damnation 
Our wings will never bloom 

The depths of our sins were to great. 
The price for sin is death 
We abandoned the gift of God 
we denied eternal life 
I walk through the valley of death day in and day out 
Yet I fear evil 
I have no God to use as a protector 
he have turned his head on me 
Is this how Jesus felt when he was on the cross suffering for our sins? 
God did indeed turn his head on him 
But Jesus was not in the wrong 
He suffered for a righteous cause 
I'm suffering for my failure to follow his words 

That is why my wings will never bloom
