Ashes of Eden

The author of the song is religious and still believe in christ/god and admits he's not worth of gods grace but is pleading for christ/god to stay in his heart. Many people in this day and age grew up religious but have lost their faith due to education conversations with peers etc etc but the writer of this song is trying to reclaim his faith only now though it seems as if god/christ is more sutle and more distan in the authors life. The author perhaps once to percieve gods presense the way he did as a child and pleads with christ to not abandon him.

Will the faithful be rewarded When we come to the end Will those that still have faith see god/christ after they die.

Will I miss the final warning From the lie that I have lived

There was a time the autor lost his faith (The lie that he has lived) and is wondering if he will die in disbelife of god/christ too late to reconcile his faith. the author is most likely vacillating between faith and unbelief and is wondering if he will believe at the time of his death.

Is there anybody calling I can see the soul within Will christ/god hear his pleas for salvation. The author asserts he believes in the soul. He can feel it within and he's not pursaded by materialist arguments. And I am not worthy I am not worthy of this The author feels unworthy of salvation as he believes he has abandoned god in the past.

Are you with me after all Why can't I hear you Are you with me through it all Then why can't I feel you

The author questions if god/christ is still present in his heart. Unlike his child hood experiences god/christ now feels more distant now to the point that he is asking if he's even with him.

Stay with me, don't let me go Because there's nothing left at all Stay with me, don't let me go Until the Ashes of Eden fall The author is requesting that god/christ stay with him untill the end of time. He no longer wants to vasilat between belief and disbelief.

Will the darkness fall upon me When the air is growing thin Will the light begin to pull me To its everlasting will I can hear the voices haunting There is nothing left to fear And I am still calling I am still calling to you In the authors final hour he questions if the god/christs light will pull him in and ease his fear of the transition to the afterlife. He wants to be free of his fear as he approaches the end of his life.

Heaven above me, take my hand Shine until there's nothing left but you Heaven above me, take my hand Shine until there's nothing left but you

The author declares he wants christs kingdom to shine on his life till he is nolonger the person he was. A doubter trapped in the nihilism of atheism. He wants that person he was to go away so that he can feel the presense of the kingdom of heaven again.
