Fall From Grace (The Ballad of Liam Kells)
By Austin Blake - January 11, 2002





The nights here are getting colder
Chilling my very soul
Can't seem to find the warmth
I so desperately need

I try to shake off the ice
But it's beyond my control
It seems the only way to loose this fear
Is to open myself up and bleed

I fight my way upwards everyday
Just to get struck down again by you
If nothing we do on this Earth matters
Then all that matters is what we do

I struggle against the demons
I battle the dying of the light
I war on against the darkness
I carry on the fight
I search for absolution
I try to earn my angelic face
But the road to redemption gets narrower still
Watch me fall from grace

The murky shadows keep me company
In the stillness of the night
I try to remember, but in vain
What sunshine feels like on my face

Trapped under this icy weight
I attempt to break free with all my might
I know I'm not perfect, no man is
But I won't let you push me from grace

The burden I bear is great
But in the end, it'll be worth it all
I won't complain, I'll bottle up my tears
I swear I'll walk through His Great Hall

I struggle against my demons
I battle the dying of the light
I war on against the darkness
I carry on the fight
I search for absolution
I try to earn my angelic face
The road to redemption may get narrower still
But I refuse to fall from grace
