Lyrics
LAMENTATIONS
(Douglas Edward Powell, Jeremiah Alexis Verdecias)
Chapter 2
Jeremiah: Lamentations...
for a heart drenched with sadness.
(I lament the life that I thought I would lead...)
Lamentations,
that my life is so filled with madness.
(I lament to all those tears...)
Lamentations,
I wish could have came here, sooner.
I wish I could just rebuke!
All those roads that led to nowhere!
All of my sins and the lies
that I have told myself.
Hidden behind the disguise of a Hard Heart.
Time spent searching..., for lost ends.
I lament all the scars that I have gathered over the years.
(I lament, I lament my withered soul.)
I lament, lament the fact that I don't have control,
(I wasn't perfect.)
I lament that the tears that I've shed,
that the blood that I've bled...
Even 'tho the day seemed like it was ripped out of my grasp...
(I always had the ability to outlast all those things that I considered hate.)
I lament my fate.., my fate...
I lament my fate
but, it ain't over yet..
I lament my fate,
but it ain't over yet.
My garden has not grown, because...
the seeds I didn't sow.
(I didn't Love...)
But it ain't over yet.
But, He always loved me.
I didn't love,
But HE always loved me...
Always His Will, for me to Love Myself.
So I can lament tears that I shed,
all day and all night,
(but it ain't over yet.)
He still knows what I need...
(He always loved me.)
I Lament, tears that I shed...
Still knows what I need...
I Lament,
that I didn't,
Turn to the God Above.
Lamentations of a Lost Spirit...
That's found it's way.
'Cause I have discovered the Higher Plateau..
Where all things go...
And, all of my Laments,
and, All of my Laments,
...I've put there.

20. "Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy. 21. Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world. 22. Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you."
(John 16: 20-22)
