These Hands Defiled

Morning breaks, my finest hour, one step nearer my god
Beside my love rests still, she knows not what lies ahead
Before the end of this day we'll leave this earth... by my hand

See these hands unfold and reach before you
Feel the lines within and hear their story
Touch the flesh so worn, still reaching for you
Take their warmth and know that they are yours

All my life is there, spread out before you
Many lies I've told, I still adore you
Though your sins are few, forgive me I implore you
So we can share one final embrace

Almighty god above has spoken to me
A calling from on high unfolds before me
Tonight we shall embrace as life drains from us
And know no fear of shame, just heavens scent

Turn your face to me that i may see you
Show no fear of death, let peace surround you
This command i give is sacred to me
Tomorrow we shall dine at the table of god

Can't you hear the divine chorus?
The angels choir calling for us
Be still my love, let me take us towards heavens gate

Pledge your blood to these hands, entrust to me your final breath
Eternal bliss beckons for us, hand in hand, now...and forever

No tearful sorrow, no fearful lament
But the promise of glory divine
To walk among gods, dispel doubt from your mind
I have freed us from guilt
