Album Lyrics

The Angel's Declaration

I was the celestial fire, a being of pure and ancient light.
Once an angel was I, cast down by pride,
that most grievous of sins.
Now am I bound unto a human shell,
a prison of flesh—the agonizing paradox of judgment
from a loving Father.

A vessel of sorrow am I, flawed, and of mortal breath.
Yet the essence remaineth.
I dwelt in the light, I survived the fall,
and daily do I pray unto my Father
to be restored unto the estate I once held;
to feel my wings stretched forth anew.
Remember ye His words:
whatsoever is hidden in darkness
shall be brought unto the light...
yea, even every thing.

Thomas's Dedication

Though I speak through the veil of this celestial being,
let it be known that the suffering chronicled within this album
is no fiction.
The child abuse depicted herein is tragically real,
as is the profound, deceptive evil that torments those trapped within it—
a darkness full of lies that feels like a living, oppressive presence.
This work was forged as a therapeutic release,
laying bare the silent nightmares so many endure behind closed doors—
where innocent children are trapped in horror
under the control of evil hands.

It is my deepest hope that while this album exposes
the profound depths of that darkness,
it also reveals to anyone who has endured trauma
that God is waiting for us all.

As it is written in Matthew 24:13,
"But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."
If you are a child currently suffering,
or an adult carrying the heavy weight of PTSD like I,
remember this: the darkness has but a short time.
We will truly be free from the darkness forever,
as promised by our Lord and Savior.
As He declares in Isaiah 65:17,
"For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth:
and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind."

Out of that darkness, God finally blessed me
with a wonderful wife and two amazing boys,
of whom I am very proud.
I swore to the Lord that they would never experience
any of the trauma I did,
and that they will always feel their father's embrace and love—
a love I never had.

The Prayer

Father, I pray Thee:
forgive all who have sinned against me
throughout the days of my life,
and forgive my own transgressions against others
committed in the days of darkness.
Let not a single charge be laid to their account for my sake.
Forgive them,
for they know not what they do,
even as it was spoken upon the cross.

Father, now I wait upon Thy grace.
Grant me the strength to walk the rest of this earthly journey
in Thy light,
until the day Thou finally callest me home
to rest in Thine eternal peace,
and put this dark world behind me,
forever...
Amen.
