Lyrics

The road to salvation is filled with temptation, trials and tribulations grant us motivation to seek out elevation so our nation doesn't fail. But Allah will not change our situation until we change ourselves. Only He can turn the impossible into possible when life is full of obstacles and patience is optional. Remember who's responsible in this journey we call life for guiding all us sinners from darkness into light. The walls begin to set in, but I'm not afraid cause the darkness knows my name. Have I fallen too far, far beneath? Most days I feel like I'm not even here. Ain't no one waiting for me. Don't come around, oh there's nothing to see. Lost all my love, wasted my tears. I've no more to lose, so I've nothing to fear. I'm tearing it down, this hollow ground. There's no need for goodbye. Oh this world is so cruel, so goodbye gentle soul. I ain't coming back home like I was before. Cause this rabbit hole, there's no wonders it holds. Only hell below. Respect I gain, a fearful name. All mine, ninety-nine lives I claim. Doesn't build me up, doesn't go away. All those eyes, they watch me night and day. Is there a heaven, still waiting for me? Can redemption come, before my final sleep? Or am I too far gone, have I fallen too deep? Oh no holy man, don't tell me God can't forgive a man like me. I've become so cruel, I thought I gained but lost. There's no coming back home, he says you get what you got. But to save his soul, oh there's gotta be hope, from the hell below. One hundred now, and all around. Their sentence stands, guilty hands down. But an ember burns, I feel it deep inside. Oh learned man, tell me where salvation lies. You gotta live right now, live this all behind. This place won't release you, they only see your crimes. But all hope's not lost, when we have our faith. For Allah's mercy always, overcomes his wrath. So you can be saved. I was on my way, not even half but nowhere. The angels came, to take my soul away. Oh the push and pull, the weight of all my sins. And the balance against mine, will to try again. But then God says measure the space, two ways closest to. Is it the hell he was running from, or the place that was known? But God makes the earth move, so he can rescue you. For even if our sins, was like water in the ocean, Allah is most merciful. So my story is told, for all our souls. I have come back home, despite who I was. I never imagined, and now I behold, an ending so beautiful. The light descends, and never ends. And I'm not afraid, for Allah knows my name.
