Persona Grinding from Afflicted by Proverb Lexis

Lift up your eyes,
Rise up
As the night turns to day
Rise up
Though the light fades away

Sin, that powerful feelin'
And the need to overcome
Toppled in temptation
But Grace overcomes

I sit and listen to clock tick
Sorting through the works of days gone away
What have I left to show for it?
Parted from these things, where I waste away
Thinking about the world makes my heart sick
Brokenhearted for the lives thrown away
Where one person sits and passes judgment
The lesser man offers his hand right away
For money is power, and power rules the world
They shape and mold our minds
Like theirs, boys and girls
Make no mistake, they are the predators
And we are their prey

(Chorus)
And I pray
Pray for myself as I pray for you
Pray for the enemies,
'Cause they need it too

And I pray
Pray for the world to keep darkness at bay
Pray for our souls,
That God lights our way

As I set my sights on persona grinding
Where hearts shift away from the irony
I see the light that shines forth in this darkness
Take a moment to picture the epiphany
Where evil grows vast and widespread
Mistreating the hearts of the lowly
A light springs up from the depths of despair
As souls cry out for the One who is Holy
And the evidence shatters the walls of the proud
Breaking through the weary theories
Shedding light on the Truth through the shroud
No more nonsensical theories
For the Truth shines too bright and yells too loud

(Chorus)
And I pray
For the unquieted voices of reason
Pray for the times
For this is the season

I pray
Pray for the faith to upkeep the Way
Pray for the heart
That yearns to obey

Keep in your minds we are to serve
Humble-minded, The Lord who deserves
The One who died, and rose again
To end the sacrifice, and conquer sin
Royalty, a heavenly nobility
He commands our loyalty
The Christ and the King, the savior of Man
The One who is worthy, please understand
We live for but a moment as pilgrims
So to honor Him on His Throne
But even as all flesh has its death
In Him we have our lives, for He is our home

(Chorus)
And I pray
Pray for Your will to come this day
Pray for Your mercy
As You've come to save

And I pray
Pray that Your people keep from the sway
Pray for Your Kingdom
To come right away

I pray that Your Kingdom
Come right away
