Let Me Die
The Classic Crime Lyrics
Tossed by the tempest of life
A victim of storms I contrive
I feel like the best is behind
And I can’t go back
The eye of the storm satisfies
I watch the chaos from inside
But the wind turns and I realize
That I can’t go back
So I go
If I drown let me go so that you can be saved
It don’t matter if people remember my name
I have lived
I have lived
Let me die
I fight against what lies beneath
It’s just my will against the sea
I’ve never been one to give in
Of all the virtues I have lacked
The need to fight has been my anchor
I could never ask for you to save me
No your will could never calm the seas I’m braving
Let me die
I have lived
I have lived
Let me die

Exactly 5805 copies of 'The Silver Cord' were sold in the first week. 5805 is a significant number because it is a song title on the album and it is the address of the house where the band formed and began to break out.
In 2010, 'Vagabonds' was released.

"Tossed by the tempest of life. A victim of storms I contrive." How real is that. The classic crime never fails to give great lyrics.

They may not be a "Christian Band", but they have proclaimed in several of their earlier songs that they are faithful Christians. Such as "Salt in the Snow" from "The Silver Chord" album.
