Extol from Extol by Fearless

Verse I
I cannot see the light,
No false mask upon my face.
The tunnel devours me whole,
Circles of torment, timeless void.

Eyes betrayed by shadows,
Straight paths swallowed in black.
No torch, no guide, no mercy—
I stumble through the abyss.

Chorus
My eyes are wide, undeceived,
You strike when I am unguarded.
The soul screams in silence,
Excruciation burns my flesh.

I crawl to the Throne of God,
And bow with extol.
Despising the rot of sin,
I vomit prayers of forgiveness.

Verse II
Who I was is ash,
The name You still call resounds.
Convicted, I bleed confession,
Seventy-seven times forgiven.

Chaos within becomes symphony,
Fragments of glass, shattered yet alive.
I am struck, but not destroyed,
The voice of fire drives me forward.

Bridge
Broken, yet rising,
Confidence forged in flame.
The voices cry out in the dark,
I return to the Throne of God.

Bow with extol,
Despise the sin,
Pray for the purge,
Pray for the cleansing.

Final Chorus
Why strike me unseen?
Why silence my soul’s lament?
Excruciation devours me whole,
Yet I bow with extol.

Throne of God, eternal altar,
Forgiveness carved in blood.
I am changed, forever changed,
In darkness, I worship still.
