My Vital Spark

[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] Masking wounds with laughter’s guise, Wishing I could close my eyes. I danced on dreams with painted grace, Sorrows I could neither name nor face. [Verse 2] I tried to shield this heart from love, To spare myself the pain. Forlorn indeed, I fell, And this endeavour wrought my shame. [Verse 3] Because I could not face the depth Of feelings you inspired... I ran away... How could I know I'd burn in hell's vile fires? [Verse 4] I tried to pick the pieces up- Abyssmal ... ahh ahhh ahhhhhh Broken ... ohh ohhh ohhhhhh Charred ... ahh ahhh ahhhhhh A semblance of normality, I worked for very hard. [Verse 5] Thusly mired I struggled... Both to end and attain flight. Striving to excise the wound... And cease my despaired plight. [Verse 6] But always irrevocably, Your image came to bear. My being strained to fill the void, With love I could not share. [Verse 7] Ever present buried deep Within my tortured soul, My love lay pining hidden from A world which seemed so cold. [Verse 8] How could I have so erred in life? To plainly lose my way... Ignoring my emotive will, Keeping my self at bay! [Verse 9] By thinking I'd be happy, In fulfilling others' hearts... Relentless death crept on me, And eclipsed my vital spark. [Verse 10] Within the tears that fell like rain, In gathering the essence of my pain. Amidst the trials that loomed so vast, He revealed His Spirit and broke the cast. [Chorus] In weakness found, I learned to soar, My soul’s lament became a roar. His power perfected in each frail thread, A tapestry of love instead. [Harmonic Expansion] My grace is sufficient for you, For My power is perfected in weakness. Sufficit tibi gratia mea, nam virtus mea in infirmitate perficitur. In weakness found, I learned to soar, In infirmitate reperta, didici volare, My soul’s lament became a roar. Lamentatio animae meae rugitum versus est. His power perfected in each frail thread, Vis eius in unoquoque filo fragili perfecta, A tapestry of love instead. In tapete amoris potius. Sufficit tibi gratia mea, nam virtus mea in infirmitate perficitur. [Outro] (Instrumental Solo)
