Hemmed in, surrounded on every side By men who hate me on account of you Torn down by their fury and spite Blindly raging against your voice Every shred of mercy has fled I speak the truth But they don't hear I'm shut down by closed minds And hardened hearts My cries for reason fall on deaf ears But what is this flesh? It's just a vanishing mist It's not my home These eyes are fixed on what's true Believing you And scorning every prize Offered by these times Unashamed in the face of this wrath Because this foundation is true So we are ready to die The mob's pressing in Heaven's filling my sight I know there's no turning back From this promise of life With steadfast resolve Gritted broken teeth The stones are pounding me down I'm being beaten into dust Pummeled into the ground When I'm drenched in blood Hands raised to heaven I'll cry (Father) (Your) Lord of all (forgive them) (Will) Take my spirit home (for they know not what they do) (Be done)
