Lyrics
Sandcastles are crumbling
Waves surround me breaking
Treasures lie there scattered in the rain
Then I act in anger
Knocked right off my center
My soul is really crying out in pain
In wounded rage
I turn and fight back
Burnt by the fire
Of truth I just can?t face
I now attack
In wounded rage
My heart turns inside out
Burnt by the mirror
My former perfect self
Now cast in doubt
God my wrath is holy
I acted for you solely
Will all this injustice never end
You say to be patient
Though their acts are blatant
On your love and grace I must depend
In wounded rage
I turn and fight back
Burnt by the fire
Of truth I just can?t face
I now attack
In wounded rage
My heart turns inside out
Burnt by the mirror
My former perfect self
Now cast in doubt
Sandcastles are crumbling
Fences beyond mending
Anger has become my closest friend
You say to be patient
Though their acts are blatant
On your love and grace I must depend
