Strongarm More Bitter Than Death lyrics

I refuse to shudder the face of sacrifice
Undying the legacy of truth shines through adversity
The furnace of affliction could not absolve it
And you in your high chair comfort

Stagnant thoughts, the accolades of arrogance
Wear them like a crown
Heart painted scarlet and your followers follow you down
Now drown in your contradictions turned religion

Consumed by the grave
For death is to feed on these things
And more the power which they have given you
Will cease still more bitter than death

Is to walk in silence, is to die discontent
Is to gaze in the eyes of your maker
And to feel no love, only resentment
This is more bitter than death itself

I've seen the face of redemption, I've closed my eyes

I've felt the hand of grace, mend my broken heart
I've pierced my Savior's side with deceit and lies
In the mist of betrayal, still repentance waits

And this I resolved within myself
My adversary will no longer be my master
For this I weep bitterly in the night

I sought shelter in sleep
But sleep is restless without hope
I looked for a thread of hope
But he was frail laid fabric

Slowly wearing
I have no use for remorse save for learning
Slowly wearing
I have no use for remorse, yet it consumes me
