You Overcame Me

I know I can't run,
I know I can't hide.
Satan grasps my hands in his.
I know I must defy.

I won't let myself stumble.
I won't let myself fall in
To this place devoid of love
And full of rue and sin.

I try to escape his words,
I try to escape his mind.
His grip on my hands tighten
As I refuse one more time.

I feel his voice full with rage
I feel my anger rise.
I remain calm t'wards him,
Inside but a quivering child.

I can't continue fighting
I can't continue my will
Tears of bittersweet are shed
Through my body runs a chill

I am no longer stable
I am falling apart
The cold tears burn my skin 
And stab through to my heart

Softly I crumble
Softly I cry
I am always thwarted
I never did defy

He has offered me no mercy
He has left my life numb
He has me in his clutches
For he has overcome.
