And if you see me losing ground
Donat be afraid to lie
I know the pain inside my heart canat break the fear inside of
yours
And if you see me losing faith
In what it means to die
Donat let me leave before I know what lies behind the stained glass
doors
Save sorrow for the souls in doubt
Bleed every care out
[Chorus:]
Will you carry me down the aisle that final
day
With your tears and cold hands shaking from the weight
When you lower me down beneath that sky of gray
Let the rain fall down
and wash away your pain
For every word we never spoke
We have a tear to cry
For every silence like a wall between a better
you and I
So if you see me losing sight
Of all the death in life
Youall find the peace in every time I failed to see the death in
mine
Let all the fear inside you drown
Tear out the blade and lay it down
Save sorrow for the souls in doubt
Bleed every
care out
[Chorus]
Oh, the blood is rushing out
Oh, Iam better off without
Oh, the walls are closing in
Oh, sing for
me again
[Chorus]
(Rain down, oh rain down, no care for the flood)
[This song, although seemingly very sad and
depressing, is in actuality a love letter to my friends and family. It is essentially something that I would want them all to know if I
were to die. I ask my true friends to carry my casket down the aisle, and as they lay me into the ground, not to mourn for my soul, but
rather rejoice for my salvation.
Death can be viewed as a very negative thing, but for Christians, it is where we find our true
hope. Death is never something I would take lightly or toy with, but to address it I think can be very revealing. If you never spoke of
the reality of death, you would be ignoring such an important part of life. This song asks my friends and family to asave sorrow for the
souls in doubt,a for they know that my soul is safe.
Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in
death.
-Isaiah 57:2]
