Written by Stephan van der Merwe

 

The silence tortures
A self-inflicted solo
Singer in his room.

Temptation is stormy
Winds howling in the darkness
Flickering candle

Traitor is the heart
As a wave tossed in the wind
Double-minded life

There is an anchor
That will keep the heart and soul
Cross-shaped wooden stake

This stake has to pierce
The fake facade of wholeness
The snake has to die

The snake that is I

I rest in a death
That is a life in Jesus
Resurrection joy

And now the duet
slowly sings some harmony
Opens up the doors
