Example of Lyrics:
Redemption
by August Burns Red
I trust in You for life to live, air to breath, purity fills my lungs. I no longer live in solitude, no longer bound. My heart beats with great devotion, this is a start to a new beginning. On my knees praying for mercy, hand raised high, humble and broken. Wanting Your grace, wanting Your security. Memories of lying face down motionless, with such a
hollow feeling inside, soon I will end this life I was living. I am just a man, with a heart and sinful hands, I am a fallen victim. Lord
show me the way as I give myself to You, never let me go, hold me with Your
everlasting love, be my strength, be my voice, my glory. Set me free.
