The Fire in the Eyes is Gone

I’ll never forsake you, I promise,
I’ll grow like strong wall for support,
And my prayer for you will be flawless,
It will soften the heart of the Lord.

All the falls, misery, addiction
And the poison of doubts and words,
Concentration of toxic affiction
And the illness that bothers and hurts,-
We just left them behind, we have managed.
And an incredible price has been paid.

We have washed off all sin and all damage,
There is no looking back and no fear,
New inviting alluring plans,
Through all hardships the stars are so near,
Will go firmly forth hand in hand!

I can’t leave you just like you demanded,
Oh, if only the Lord keeps me in,
Some may slander that we are enchanted,
But allegiance to charms is akin.
