[Please support the official release (Remix Origin link on this page)] [Verse] I said, “I will take heed to my ways, I will not sin with my tongue: With bridle I’ll control what I say.” And here before me, wickedness sprung. Silent and dumb, I held my peace Even for good I would speak not My heart grew hot within me, Quiet, alone in my thought. [Verse] My sorrow inside me was stirred. My core, my heart still hot inside, While I mused the fire in me burned: Then by thy grace, my voice came alive. Lord, Help me know the end, That you have for me in store, To trust the measure of days you will lend, And see my frailty heretofore. [Prechorus] Oh, ohhh-oh. Yeah! Say you’ll spare me, to recover my might, ‘Fore I fade to go hence to the night! Hear me… [Chorus] O Lord, give ear unto my cry; Hold not thy peace at my tears: For a stranger to thee am I. Although my forebears once sojourned here. [Bridge] Yeah, my years are as nothing to thee. The days you give me are as short as my hand. At the most, our state is vanity. As for me, as for each woman and man. [Verse] Each of us here on our paths down below, Our worry is nothing. Our concern is in vain: We seek out our riches which are only for show, It will not be us who gathers them back again. Now, hear my voice oh my Lord, My hope is in none of them here with me. What shall it be that I wait for? My hope is in none but for thee (For Thee!) * [Verse] Deliver me from all my transgressions: Let me not be a reproach of the foolish. I was dumb, I didn’t open my mouth back then. But you opened my mouth & this now be my wish. I am consumed by thine hand, by its blow. You rebuke us, correcting our iniquity, You struck me, Take away now thy stroke. Our beauty is consumed - Ep- Ephemerality! [Prechorus] Yeah! Say you’ll spare me, to recover my might, ‘Fore I fade to go hence to the night! Hear me… Hear me! [Chorus] O Lord, give ear unto my cry; But my forebears once sojourned here With thee! (With thee!) [Outro] Yeah, my years are as nothing to thee. The days you give me are as short as my hand. At the most, our state is vanity. As for me, as for each woman and Say you’ll spare me, to recover my might, ‘Fore I fade fade and go hence to the night! "Before I fade and go hence to the night!" (Before I fade and go hence to the night!) ```Before I fade``` "Before I fade and go hence to the night!" (Before I fade and go hence to the night!) ```Before I fade``` [End]
