IVa. Bitter Dose

from Vespers III & IV by Aaron Strumpel

/

lyrics

it's a hard way to end
a year and a half
with a muddled mind
with a muddied hand
it's a hard way to end
it's a bitter dose to take
from another hand
it's in my veins
i fought in vain
it's a bitter dose to take

so i set my eyes like stone
and i lift up my chin
and i pick up all my bones
and breathe life in again
and i build my house on stone
and i make straight my frame
i will not be knocked down
when the winds come again

and i hope for hope
and i hope for joy
and i yearn to love
like i yearn to be loved
