Here I am alone again The rise and fall against the wind Alive I'll be the last to carry on I see the writing on the wall For every dream to crash and fall And tremble like the darkness at the dawn This is the time to die This is the time to separate This is the time to celebrate Leaving this world behind The time to die The waters have risen high again And all of my idols tremble in The wake of your love divine So raise me from my bended knees Who bow to things that cannot see And lift me to a place where I stand Replace my heart and all I lack And place the wood upon my back The cross of my dear lover, savior, friend So take my dreams and take my wealth And all betrayal You have felt Take them as a tool for sacrifice To work to kill or even still Your kingdom dreams to fulfill Today this altar is my stage for life
