Alone Songtext
von My Epic

Am I a barren temple left for newer ways
Of speaking mysteries my veils cannot contain?
Should I prepare to winter-spends again
Of silent sentries pierced for only certain men?
What if I wake to find you′ve gone?
What if your presence was withdrawn?
And I was mistaken all along
To think I could become your home?

It'd be no surprise to finally know
I am truly alone
Come death, but likely sooner, I′ll be alone

You moved your temple inside our bones and limbs
So hard to trust that you won't move again
For all eternity you stood with your Father in perfect unity
And when you walked the earth, you only went where He led
You only spoke what He said
So for everything you left and all of the glory you forfeit
No matter how low you were sent


You still couldn't know what it′s like to be alone
Disgraced, but you were never alone
Betrayed, but you were never alone
Tortured, but still never alone
And nothing is worse than being alone

I′ve been thinking hard about us trading places
And maybe I could wear your beauty if you put on my shame
Jesus, I've been trying so hard to look like you
That I almost missed the worst of what I′ve put you through
You didn't die for sins, you died covered in them
A prideful lying thief gasping out my final breath
For that one moment, you looked just like me
So your Father left you and you died completely

Alone
For me, you were alone
He couldn′t bear it, so He left you all alone
(No better promise than sympathy)
You conquered death all alone
(You know the deepest of all our needs)
Never again, never alone
