High life
You see my blood, sweat, and tears.
I have fought on the ground before you.
Take everything.
Blood and sweat and tears.
You have fought on the ground before me,
When you gave everything.
I have lived this war too long.
Come and take everything.
I have lived this sin too long.
Come and take everything.
God, relieve it all, finally.
Finally, I surrender.
All to you, I give it all to you.
Finally, I surrender.
All I am, I owe it all to you.
Finally, I surrender.
All to you, I give it all to you.
Finally, I surrender.
All I am, I owe it all.
You fight for me when I can't fight for myself.
This battle is not mine.
But the battle belongs to the Lord.
This battle is not mine.
But the battle belongs to the Lord.
I am a slave, unto this broken flesh.
Because You gave me hope.
I am a slave, unto this broken flesh.
Because You are my hope.
I am the slave to my flesh.
That man has God.
I am a free man.
I am a free man.
Under the blood I rise.
Redeemed I stand.
Carried back from hell, by your nail scarred hands.
And now I'm free.
You broke my chains and You gave me the key.
Redeemed I stand.
Carried back from hell, by your nail scarred hands.
And now I'm free.
You broke my chains and You gave me the key.
So now, I bow to show You, that You are everything to me.
Finally, I surrender.
All to you, I give it all to you.
Finally, I surrender.
All I am, I owe it all to you.
Finally, I surrender.
All to you, I give it all to you.
Finally, I surrender.
All I am, I owe it all.
I have fought on the ground before you.
Take everything.
Blood and sweat and tears.
You have fought on the ground before me,
When you gave everything.
I have lived this war too long.
Come and take everything.
I have lived this sin too long.
Come and take everything.
God, relieve it all, finally.
Finally, I surrender.
All to you, I give it all to you.
Finally, I surrender.
All I am, I owe it all to you.
Finally, I surrender.
All to you, I give it all to you.
Finally, I surrender.
All I am, I owe it all.
You fight for me when I can't fight for myself.
This battle is not mine.
But the battle belongs to the Lord.
This battle is not mine.
But the battle belongs to the Lord.
I am a slave, unto this broken flesh.
Because You gave me hope.
I am a slave, unto this broken flesh.
Because You are my hope.
I am the slave to my flesh.
That man has God.
I am a free man.
I am a free man.
Under the blood I rise.
Redeemed I stand.
Carried back from hell, by your nail scarred hands.
And now I'm free.
You broke my chains and You gave me the key.
Redeemed I stand.
Carried back from hell, by your nail scarred hands.
And now I'm free.
You broke my chains and You gave me the key.
So now, I bow to show You, that You are everything to me.
Finally, I surrender.
All to you, I give it all to you.
Finally, I surrender.
All I am, I owe it all to you.
Finally, I surrender.
All to you, I give it all to you.
Finally, I surrender.
All I am, I owe it all.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
"You see my blood, sweat, and tears. I have poured on the ground before you. Take everything. Blood and sweat and tears. You have poured on the ground before me, When you gave everything."
"So, I am no slave unto this broken flesh. Because You gave mhope. I am no slave to this broken flesh. Because You are my hope. I am no slave to my broken flesh. That man has died - I am a free man!"
This is straight out of the album cover! Mattie performs it a little different. One of the "unto"s is really just "to" and he says "I am no slave to my flesh!"
beautiful work of Spirit filled art.
I am a slave, unto this broken flesh because You gave me hope. I am a slave, unto this broken flesh because You are my hope. I am the slave to my flesh. That man has God. I am a free man. Under the blood I rise. Redeemed I stand, carried back from hell by Your nail scarred hands. And now I'm free, You broke my chains and You gave me the key. So now I bow to show You, that You are everything to me.
It's " I am no slave unto this broken flesh" everytime that's said
