Dragging a spirit where the lifelines end, To find the mercy that the Heavens send. Forgive the silence when I should have spoke, Before the weight of every promise broke. I thought the virtue was a work of mine, But I was drifting from the ancient design. Don’t come this way, don’t travel this road, It’s a heavy burden and a bitter load! I’m building a bridge from the bridge I burned, To give you the wisdom that I’ve dearly learned! A strange light led me to the shadow’s den, Where the dark one comes to be your friend again. A tangled mess that I can’t unwind, With a "do as thou wilt" for a hollow mind. Don’t come this way, don’t travel this road, It’s a heavy burden and a bitter load! I’m building a bridge from the bridge I burned, To give you the wisdom that I’ve dearly learned! I built a fortress for the secret sin, With a lock on the door and a wall within. But the bedrock of my soul is calling me back, To find the light through the narrow crack. Don’t come this way, don’t travel this road, It’s a heavy burden and a bitter load! I’m building a bridge from the bridge I burned, To give you the wisdom that I’ve dearly learned! Only a little bit of soul remains, But I’m holding on, and I’m breaking chains. Tomorrow is a whisper of a love so true, When I lay my head down, and I reach for You. God, I reach for You For You! Balance in Exile © 2026 Allen G.
