For You Lyrics

The fires burn through me
Are only stench of you
Dont put aside
(?)The time slips by(?)
(?)Are only cult of you(?)

I give my word to stand the test of time
No more wasted days
The past must bury

The line is drawn
I pledge my devotion
There is no turning
This heart is yours
I sacrifice for you (for you)

This is immortal

The fires burn through me
Are only stench of you
Yea

With each passing day, this harm is endless
No more wasted time
We are immortal

The line is drawn
I pledge my devotion
There is no turning
This heart is yours
I sacrifice for you (for you)

This is the everlasting
This is immortal

Your words are my inspiration
Your life, an image of perfection
For all you are, for all youve done
Stands to be in a reflection

The line is drawn
I pledge my devotion
There is no turning
This heart is yours
I sacrifice for you (for you)

This is the everlasting
This is immortal

People arent going to like this, but i dont really care. This song is about Jesus. God's love is everlasting, with it, we are immortal. One more thing, Jesus is the only one who lived a perfect life. Need any more proof? Yes, metal bands draw inspiration from God, deal with it. Hell of a song.

@OwenB55 I've literally said this exact thing for years. The only other possible interpretation would be that it could possibly be something like really deep wedding vows. But I've always been pretty positive that the writer is talking to God here

Excellent song...one of my favs on the cd. It definitely sounds like it's about Jesus.

to me... i dont think it has anything to do with jesus but a love for someone special. it is a great song. i love the guitar bit when they sing the 'for you' bit.. very catchy... good band

I do think personally it's about God , but I think he wrote it meaning to anybody who you care for.

It COULD be about god with all the "perfection" and stuff, or it could mean trying to be as perfect as the person you love, at least that's how I see it.
