Hold to Me

Hold to me

Not to this world

for there is nothing

 in this world

 that you can prove

beyond my ever steel-strong love

that has done all feats
of heroic power

Can't you see

my eyes of tenderness 

staring up under the anvil

--should have fallen on your head

You see it still,

you feel its wind

its bitterness has touched you,

But do not strive,

do not clutch

do not 

be Afraid

I've paid.

It cleaved my skin

pierced 

ran my blood

sunk 

into my soul

-It is not your woe-

Let go

You see but the shadow

burned still 

into

 your flesh's 

sight

A retinal haze seen from the alter
you 

should 

have died on

The one I 
cut you from

-this Word is sharp-

Before, After, and Forever.

Look into my eyes

you are free
