Kingdom Forge - Tempered - Vindicated

Lyrics: Accused and confused Memories twisted Divided in my thinking Torn Coming undone Every scar screaming Every fear laughs back I wrestle with the shadow Of the sins I’ve stacked Teeth in the dark Claws in my chest I hear that serpent Hissing “You’re less” Vindicated In the blood that speaks my name (my name) I was cornered But the cross consumed my shame I stand shaking Still I raise these broken hands Vindicated Christ beside me as I stand I struggle with the monster Of the man I was Chained to every failure Every fractured trust Back to the wall Bruised to the bone I spit out my terror I am not my ghost Terror on trial Echoes of blame Heaven cuts through Calling my name Vindicated In the blood that speaks my name (my name) I was cornered But the cross consumed my shame I stand shaking Still I raise these broken hands Vindicated Christ beside me as I stand I hear the verdict Carved in His side Mercy like thunder Shattering lies (Christ beside me) In the fracture In the flood of doubt Grace is the war cry Driving despair out (hey!) Vindicated In the blood that speaks my name (my name) I was cornered But the cross consumed my shame I stand shaking Still I raise these broken hands Vindicated Christ beside me as I stand Accused Confused Yet carried through Divided thoughts But held in truth My final stand In nail-scarred hands Christ beside me I rise again
