Free From Sin

Eyes as dark as death itself.
Hair that keeps them looking bright.
Skin as pale as the white sand,
That reflects the moon tonight.
The water tries to draw me in.
My reflection holds me tight.
I can't break her silent stare,
Or let her disappear from sight.
She's the cause of all my pain,
All my worries, all my fears.
She's the reason I'm insane,
And why I can't burst into tears.
I try to hide her from the world,
But they see her, inside me.
Can't I rid myself of her?
Could I leave her in the sea?
But I know she'd find a way
Back in my heart, and in my soul.
It might save me one more day,
But it just digs a deeper hole.
Angering her isn't bright.
It's like digging your own grave.
But I know I can't back down.
I have to make myself look brave.
Without Him I don't have a chance.
She can tear my soul apart.
I'm not strong enough to fight
Until He is in my heart.
One day I'll have the upper hand.
Someday she will want to run.
Once His light shines, she'll retreat.
Like the moon does from the Son.
She's strong now, but it won't last.
So for now, I will endure.
This will all soon come to pass.
I'll soon leave her at the shore.
So I will break the silent stare.
I'll fight this war, once again.
He's on my side now, so I know,
He will free me from this Sin.
