"Survived" lyrics

Wading again on the wrong side of low
Calling my courage from the comforts I know
Easy to lust and harder to hold
Don't take it for granted you reap what you sow

There's a heavy weight at the burning stake
Living like you had died
Attrition takes at the pearly gates
Lord I have survived, Lord how have I survived

The loneliest people that I've ever seen
Live in the current of Babylon's dream
Surrounded by idols where no one believes
Lost in the title no roots on their feet

There's a heavy weight at the burning stake
Living like you had died
Attrition takes at the pearly gates
Lord I have survived, Lord how have I survived

I carry some burdens too fragile to mold
I wear them like diamonds though they're worthless as stones
At times it's a gamble who's in control
But never afraid for the sake of my soul

There's a heavy weight at the burning stake
Living like you had died
Attrition takes at the pearly gates
Lord I have survived, Lord how have I survived

There's a heavy weight at the burning stake
Living like you had died
Attrition takes at the pearly gates
Lord I have survived, Lord how have I survived
