Five Iron Frenzy On Distant Shores Lyrics:
I have been scarred so deep by life and cold
despair, and brittle bones were broken far beyond
repair. I have leveled lies so deep, the truth may
never find. And inside my faithless heart, I stole
things never mine. If mercy falls upon the broken
and the poor, Dear Father, I will see you, there
on distant shores. I have toiled for countless
years and ever felt the cost, and I've been burned
by this world's cold, like leaves beneath the
frost. On my knees I've crawled to You, bleeding
myself dry. But the price of life is more, than I
could ever buy. And off of the blocks, I was
headstrong and proud, at the front of the line for
the card-carrying, highbrowed. With both eyes
fastened tight, yet unscarred from the fight.

Running at full tilt, my sword pulled from its
hilt. It's funny how these things can slip away,
our frail deeds, the last will wave good-bye. It's
funny how the hope will bleed away, the citadels
we build and fortify. Good-Bye. Night came and I
broke my stride, I swallowed hard, but never
cried. When grace was easy to forget, I'd denounce
the hypocrites, casting first stones, killing my
own. You would unscale my blind eyes, and I stood
battered, but more wise, fighting to accelerate,
shaking free from crippling weight. With
resilience unsurpassed, I clawed my way to You at
last. And on my knees, I wept at Your feet, I
finally believed, that You still loved me. Healing
hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls once
again. Jesus Christ, Light of the World, burning
bright within our hearts forever. Freedom means
love without condition, without beginning or an
end. Here's my heart, let it be forever Yours,
only You can make every new day seem so new.
