One More Nail.

I don’t really know that I have much to say about this one.  However, I do need to mention that this is intended to be a song contrasting four different characters, so please forgive the length. 

Laying in a coffin,
I look at the stars.
The door is closing
I didn’t get that far.
Hammer to iron
As the lid is snugged down.
A face is frozen
in a perfect frown.

I can’t believe
I feel no closure.
Can God hear me
Or do I care no longer?

Just one more nail
To close this door forever
One more nail
To bring these tracks together
One more nail
To heal a heart’s distemper
One more nail
To join our hearts forever.

The rail’s been laid
Crossing this great Land.
Sing us a chorus
And strike up the band.
Coast to coast,
“On with the industry!”
And yet I will pass,
With nothing remembered.

I can’t believe
I feel no closure.
Can God hear me
Or do I care no longer?

Just one more nail-
This lid is closed forever
One more nail
To bring these tracks together
One more nail
To heal a heart’s distemper
One more nail
To join our hearts forever.

Rage has built inside
Leaving a festering wound.
My wound motivates
To bring some small doom.
Destruction is my game
To make me feel better.
This blessed release
Will pass in but a moment.

I can’t believe
I feel no closure.
Can God hear me
Or do I care no longer?

Just one more nail
This door is closed forever
One more nail
These tracks are brought together
One more nail
To heal a heart’s distemper
One more nail
To join our hearts forever.

A man bleeding out
working my forgiveness.
My simple indiscretions
Are horrible offenses.
For my great failing
He is nailed to a tree.
We bring the pain,
And He resurrects at the end…

I can’t believe
I feel no closure.
Can God hear me
Or do I care no longer?

Just one more nail
This door is closed forever
One more nail
These tracks are brought together
One more nail
I die in my distemper
One more nail
To join our hearts forever.

(Breakdown)
You scream of death and mortal decay
For fear and for blood you have closed yourself off
And sink to despair this day.
It is My blood that brings you thus far
And it is my blood that will bring you home.
One more nail in my hand and all will complete
You sing in this hatred when you need My relief.

I can’t believe
You reject a healer.
Can you hear me
Or do you care no longer?

Just one more nail
This door is closed forever
One more nail
These tracks are brought together
One more nail
I die in my distemper
One more nail
Our hearts are joined forever.
