Smaller Death

“Smaller Death” [Verse 1] You broke the road beneath my feet Before my pride became complete I called it wrath, I called it loss But mercy sometimes wears a cross [Chorus] Before I fall beyond the light Before my heart becomes the night Before the lie becomes my breath You let me taste a smaller death Before I sink beyond return Before the final bridges burn You wound the flesh, You shake the soul To keep the darkness from its throne [Verse 2] Some storms arrive before the sin Some chains are broken from within A thorn can guard a soul from pride A desert keeps the truth alive [Chorus] Before I fall beyond the light Before my heart becomes the night Before the lie becomes my breath You let me taste a smaller death Before I sink beyond return Before the final bridges burn You wound the flesh, You shake the soul To keep the darkness from its throne [Verse 3] Peter was sifted in the fear Paul carried weakness through the years And Job still heard beyond the pain A God who would not let him break [Final Chorus] Before I fall beyond the light Before my heart becomes the night Before the lie becomes my breath You let me taste a smaller death Before I sink beyond return Before the final bridges burn You wound the flesh, You shake the soul To keep the darkness from its throne © Sergio Eduardo Maurer
