lyrics

There is a battlefield within my soul
A deadly poison biting at my bones
Invisible force keeps driving me
The thorn in my side won't let me be

A burden I must bear till my dying day
Oh, how I wish I would not feel this way
A struggle of mind, conflicting passions
Longing to find the source of peace and serenity
Free me and redeem me

So I plead rescue me
From this body of death
Wretched man that I am in my sin
Intervene and wash me clean
From this stain that no one knows
And no one sees
I'm begging You, please
I'm on my knees

The war inside me rages on and on
This journey I must take on all alone
The new creation I'm supposed to be
A blatant contradiction in my being

So I plead rescue me
From this body of death
Wretched man that I am in my sin
Intervene and set me free
From this pain that no one knows
And no one feels
I'm begging You, please

Flesh and the spirit
Two laws inside of me
But who the Son gives freedom
Shall be free indeed
So if I stumble
Will I keep serving sin?
No!

So I plead rescue me
From this body of death
Wretched man that I am in my sin
Intervene and set me free
From this pain that no one knows
And no one feels
I'm begging You, please
I'm on my knees

Shelter me and comfort me
Let your love and mercy be enough for me
If it be your will

In Memoriam
by Crowned in Sorrow

supported by 5 fans who also own “This Body of Death”

Out of the wreckage brought upon by dual personal tragedies comes an outstanding album that is sorrowful and victorious. Once you listen to this a few times, it’s hard to want to listen to anything else for a while. This is my front runner for metal album of 2021, and perhaps even my overall AOTY. Metal Marc

I picked this up a few years ago, at a time when I really needed an album like this. To this day it is still something that I love to play beginning to end and feel every second of it. Such a amazing expression of humbling yourself lyricwise mixed with the most unique style of Black Gaze I've ever heard. billyspears
