Test of Time

Dark shadows all around
footsteps silenced on the ground
heartbeats fading one by one
I won't let you follow them

They'll try to tell ya you're not worth their time
try to make all their wrongs sound like rights
take your innocent mind and twist it around if you let 'em
doesn't make a difference what you say
they'll hurt your heart and it might break
oh, heed my warning
you better hold your ground

and i know you dont understand it now
it seems too far, too long, too hard somehow
you fight battles with the blood of your past
pouring out of opened scars
so take my hand my wounded warrior
I won't let the devil sneak up on you
never going to leave you behind
you've always been there right beside me
shield of love and hope's armor ready
I wouldn't let you lose this fight
we'll stand through the test of time

Voices will echo through your sensitive mind
try to confuse all the truths with lies
drop your lovely soul down a well of hate with indifference
it won't matter what you think
they'll beat you up until you break
oh, but be assured
I'll help you take them down

and i know you dont understand it now
it seems too far, too long, too hard somehow
you fight battles with the blood of your past
pouring out of opened scars
so take my hand my wounded warrior
I won't let the devil sneak up on you
never going to leave you behind
you've always been there right beside me
shield of love and hope's armor ready
I wouldn't let you lose this fight
we'll stand through the test of time
