Slip To The Void

What happens when we stray from the path directing us toward our transcendent goal?  We enter a state of existence where we truly "don't belong."  The "moment we let love go" (the virtue of charity) we slip to the void and experience a kind of hell on earth that is empty of all true meaning and happiness.  Here is another piece from Alter Bridge reflecting the darker side of human existence. 




Alter Bridge - Slip To The Void


SLIP TO THE VOID - ALTER BRIDGE
Slip to the void
To the dark
To the fall
Crawl to the life you shouldn't know
You should never come this way
To test the hands of fate
You don't belong here

Peel back the skin
Close your eyes
Hell is born
To the abyss, but be warned
You fear what you've become
My God what have you done?
You don't belong here

But it's all in the way
You touch and you obey
Denial

But it's all in the way
You touch and you obey
Denial

Sever the ties
Trip the wire
Take your hold
Doubt is alive and you know
You were once led to believe
You were young and so naive
And now no longer
But it's all in the way
You turn your back today

Left to face this alone
Left to die with nothing you can own
Left to break in the cold
In the void that you made
The moment you let love go

Try win back your days
You let them all escape your heart
Now that you've come so far
Why did you have to fall so hard?
Look at what you've done
What have you become?

Left to face this alone
Left to die with nothing you can own
Left to break in the cold
In the void that you made
The moment you let love go
You let love go
You let love go
You let love go
