Track 12: The Vein & The Virtue (The Finale)

+ Show full styles

(Intro)
[Beautiful Grand Piano Melody]
[Violins swelling up]
We started in the woods.
We went to the vein.
We found the virtue.
This is the legacy.
(Verse 1: The Recap of the Woods)
I remember the smell of the pine and the rain,
Running from the blue lights, drowning in the pain.
Dalton was the cradle, Murray was the school,
Where I played the jester and I played the fool.
The shadows of the Cohutta held me tight,
Hiding my demons in the middle of the night.
I thought I was free, but I was just a slave,
Digging my own hole, digging my own grave.
But the woods couldn't keep me, the trees let me go,
To find a new path in the valley below.
(Verse 2: The Recap of the Vein)
Then came the needle, the silver-tipped snake,
The biggest mistake that a man could make.
Room 1 19  energy, living on the edge,
Standing with my toes on the window ledge.
The "Glass Friend" laughed as I fell apart,
Stopping the rhythm of a warrior’s heart.
I sold my soul for a chemical kiss,
Trading my eternity for a moment of bliss.
The vein was the master, the blood was the cost,
A wandering King who was totally lost.
(Chorus)
IT WAS THE VEIN AND THE VIRTUE! THE DARK AND THE LIGHT!
THE WRONG TURNS I TOOK TO GET TO THE RIGHT!
FROM THE POISON IN THE BLOOD TO THE POWER IN THE PEN,
I’M NEVER GOING BACK TO THE MADNESS AGAIN!
THE STORY IS WRITTEN, THE VERDICT IS IN,
THE VIRTUE HAS CONQUERED THE WEIGHT OF THE SIN!
(Verse 3: The Recap of the Virtue)
But God sends angels in the strangest of forms,
To shelter a man from the violent storms.
Erica... the virtue in the middle of the vice,
The woman who paid the ultimate price.
She stood in the gap when the enemy fired,
She gave me the strength when the spirit was tired.
Now the roles are reversed, and I’m holding the shield,
Fighting a battle on a medical field.
The Virtue is contagious, it healed up the Vein,
Washing the spirit like the Georgia rain.
(Verse 4: The Caregiver’s Vow)
Now I sit awake at night thinking this ain't as it seems
Living the hardest of all of the scenes.
But I’m cleaner than I’ve been in all of my life,
Sharper than the edge of a surgeon’s knife.
I’m watch the chemo drip into the line,
Trusting the Father and the grand design.
Watch the Radiation take her beautiful hair
God, give me self control if the people stare 
We ain't victims, baby, we’re warriors true,
I’m walking this fire right next to you.
The addiction is dead. The Caregiver reigns.
Breaking the cycle and breaking the chains.
(Bridge)
[Music swells to a crescendo]
To every addict listening... put it down.
To every husband listening... step up.
To every cancer warrior... keep fighting.
We are the proof.
(Verse 5: The Final Decree)
So this is the album. This is the truth.
The wasted years of a reckless youth.
Redeemed by the blood and restored by the love,
Watching the blessings rain down from above.
King Spades is the name, but the glory is His,
I’m finally finding out what happiness is.
It ain't in the pipe, and it ain't in the spoon,
It’s in the sunrise following the moon.
The Vein is closed. The Virtue is open.
The curse is destroyed. The silence is broken.
(Outro)
[Piano plays the melody from Track 1]
[Sound of the heavy metal door closing]
[Sound of the lock clicking shut]
1919.
Mission Complete.
WE LOVE YOU, ERICA!!!!
REMEMBER NOTHING CAN BE YOU! YOU ARE MY QUEEN. 
Amen and HALLELUJAH!!!!
