Beyond Me
by Demon Hunter

Album: Extremist

Where does your allegiance lie?
In failing hearts and idle hands
What corrupted eyes to heed the certainty of man
You fail me
I never was my final word
I could never be the only voice I heard

Trust in the powerless, the ever knowing inside
See no deliverance
Leave all conviction behind
The darkest of hearts they cease to bleed
And never deny for the self to lead

You'll find in this a lonely home
No tear consoled
To wander on a nameless road
Beyond me

Compromise all time unseen, for this, your momentary lust
Pride deafening
Unsung hymns gather rust
No corruption, delusion, enslavement here
Driven not by fear
Not converted to…

Trust in the powerless the ever knowing inside
See no deliverance
Leave all conviction behind
The darkest of hearts they cease to bleed
And never deny for the self to lead

You'll find in this a lonely home
No tear consoled
To wander on a nameless road
Beyond me

I see an aimless soul in the ruthless cold
Fighting off the call
Dying to be whole
I see an aimless soul in the ruthless cold
Fighting off the call
Giving in to the fall

And never deny for the self to lead
You'll find in this a lonely home
No tear consoled
To wander on a nameless road
Beyond me

You'll find in this a lonely home
No tear consoled
To wander on a nameless road
Beyond me


'Self-reliance would be sensible if only we were worthy of complete trust. There's freedom in recognizing that this isn't the case. We lie to ourselves, we lie to others, and often, despite knowing it, we can be our own worst enemy. There's a crippling pressure that comes with putting complete faith in ourselves. With a God that is willing to help carry our burden, why insist on bearing it all ourselves? We reject relief in the name of pride. Why anyone would choose such a lonely road is beyond me.' - Ryan Clark
