That have a father killed, a mother stained,
Excitements of my reason and my blood,
And let all sleep, while to my shame I see

Which is not tomb enough and continent
To hide the slain? O, from this time forth
My thoughts be bloody or be nothing worth!

It's more than shadows

That carry me through

Not some empty shadowed faith

Of some empty idols

Its the faith that allows me to do

What I do

Died for me on that cross
