Alone Songtext
von My Epic
Alone Songtext
Am I a barren temple
Left for newer ways
Of speaking mysteries my veils cannot contain?
Should I prepare to winter spans again
Of silent centuries pierced for only certain men?
What if I wake to find You′ve gone?
What if Your presence was withdrawn
And I was mistaken all along
To think God could become Your home?
It'd be no surprise to finally know
I am truly alone.
Come death but likely sooner I′ll be alone.
You moved Your temple
Inside our bones
And it's so hard to trust that You
Won't move again.
For all eternity You stood with Your Father
In perfect unity.
And when You walked the earth,
You only went where He led.
You only spoke what He said.
So for everything You left,
and all of the glory You forfeit,
No matter how Low You were sent,
you still couldn′t know
What it′s like to be alone.
Disgraced but You were never alone. Betrayed but You were never alone.
Tortured but still never alone
and nothing is worse than being alone.
I have been thinking hard about us trading places
That maybe I could wear Your beauty if You put on my shame.
Jesus I've been trying so hard to look like You
That I almost missed the Worst of what I put You through.
You didn′t die for sins,
You died covered in them,
A prideful lying thief
Gasping out my final breaths.
For that one moment you looked just like me,
So Your father left You
And You Died completely alone.
For me, You were alone.
He couldn't bear it so He left You all alone.
No better promise than sympathy.
You conquered death all alone.
′Cause You've known the deepest of all our needs.
Never again. Never alone.
Left for newer ways
Of speaking mysteries my veils cannot contain?
Should I prepare to winter spans again
Of silent centuries pierced for only certain men?
What if I wake to find You′ve gone?
What if Your presence was withdrawn
And I was mistaken all along
To think God could become Your home?
It'd be no surprise to finally know
I am truly alone.
Come death but likely sooner I′ll be alone.
You moved Your temple
Inside our bones
And it's so hard to trust that You
Won't move again.
For all eternity You stood with Your Father
In perfect unity.
And when You walked the earth,
You only went where He led.
You only spoke what He said.
So for everything You left,
and all of the glory You forfeit,
No matter how Low You were sent,
you still couldn′t know
What it′s like to be alone.
Disgraced but You were never alone. Betrayed but You were never alone.
Tortured but still never alone
and nothing is worse than being alone.
I have been thinking hard about us trading places
That maybe I could wear Your beauty if You put on my shame.
Jesus I've been trying so hard to look like You
That I almost missed the Worst of what I put You through.
You didn′t die for sins,
You died covered in them,
A prideful lying thief
Gasping out my final breaths.
For that one moment you looked just like me,
So Your father left You
And You Died completely alone.
For me, You were alone.
He couldn't bear it so He left You all alone.
No better promise than sympathy.
You conquered death all alone.
′Cause You've known the deepest of all our needs.
Never again. Never alone.
