I am drifting to sleep as the air burns in my lungs
Born of woman and man, I am bold, I am young
I've sharpened my teeth on the bones of my enemies
Seeing their death as our only remedy
Mother forgive me
For all that I have ignored
Please hold me still in this deepening sleep
As I wait for my Lord

I am youngest of three and the only living son
Born of flesh and of earth into trials no man has won
And I honed my ways to obtain my every desire
I trained my tongue to deceive and run like a fire
Sisters forgive me
For tearing this three strung chord
Please hold me close as I'm drifting to sleep
While I wait for my Lord

Warm sun, her hand in mine and those eyes no tear should know
Cold lies and colder my dreams for she left me long ago
And I like the waves have run this ship to the deep
Not to be found with all it's secrets in keep
Lover forgive me
For you were the one left at shore
Hold no more anger, just sing me to sleep
As I wait for my Lord

I am drifting to sleep and that time is soon to come
I fear memory will keep all the things that I have done
Fully aware I have failed more than I have achieved
Here now am I placed before the heart I have grieved
Father forgive me
And should I be restored
I pray my soul you will take and will keep as I come to join you Lord
I pray my soul you will take and will keep
As I come to join you Lord
