Metanoia
by Convictions

Album: The Fear of God - Deluxe

Intro
Break the chains of paranoia
Surrender to an eternal metanoia

Verse 1
I feel carved by a blade of sorrow
Sculpted in insecurity
Destined to relapse
Through cycles of torment
Constructed to collapse

Pre-Chorus
In the steps of a thief on a path to nowhere
I robbed my own soul, chasing what's never there
I stumbled in circles, tearing at my own skin
Caught in the fist of original sin

Chorus
Metanoia
Break the chains that bind my soul
Metanoia
Purge the filth that blinds these eyes
Paranoia
The weight of fear into the spine
Metanoia
Your truth will purge the curse inside

Post-Chorus
Purge the curse inside

Verse 2
The self-destructive lies
God, free my mind
Bend my broken will, please rescue me
With my life on the line, I reach for the divine
I am broken
Living in fear
Grinding down my teeth
I am burdened
I have strayed so far
Drowning in doubt
(Fighting just to breathe)

Chorus
Metanoia
Break the chains that bind my soul
Metanoia
Purge the filth that blinds these eyes
Paranoia
The weight of fear into the spine
Metanoia
Your truth will purge the curse inside
I need Your voice to pierce through me
Breathe life, lift the disease
Paranoia
The weight of fear into the spine
Metanoia
Your truth will purge the curse inside

Post-Chorus
Sever death's command

Bridge
A new foundation's formed
Lift the shroud, You've swallowed death itself
On my heart, Your message will remain:
"My son, I have called you by name."

Breakdown
Through His voice, I'm reminded "
I am made in the image of God
I am made in the image of God
I am made in the image of God
I am made in the image of God, ah

Outro
I am made in the image of God
