Free

Above and beyond all reasonable doubts,
held fast and kept on, two hearts beat without
lack of motive; faith holds true and firm.
Justly devoted to a soul that seems to stand by her word.

Bring me evidence, because I've never been tricked before;
bring me conscience: clean, elementally pure.

Snake in the grass, avoiding fires I've set
to smoke the serpent out beyond a shadow of a doubt;
a lingering motive; can faith stand true and firm?
Still devoted to a soul; hanging on her every word.

Webs of lies, spindling like drapes over windows and doors, softening the corners of shapes.
What is this but a fog, shrouding reality in a mist?
I didn't think I'd ever get through it.

You pull me out, beyond all reasonable doubt,
you cast it out: the snake, thrown into the river to drown;
you put stop to fears: like cankers on my soul-
if this lasts for years: it won't ever be long enough.

And like the sun, you burn away the fog
so that I may see the trails that I've walked,
and what lays behind is desecration-
what lies in front is a true foundation:
to build a life on, to build a home upon.
To keep confidence stored
within my confidant.

You saved me.
Believe me.
Pulled the fangs from my body,
washed the wounds and stayed with me.
You set me free.
