Deliverence Lyrics

It seems so long to me that I / Last felt I knew where I was going
My heart's too full of black bitterness / To catch the nearest way

With all my soul did I stray from
A path I knew would lead me where
I would find more than I could take
And have to give more than I could bear

So I gathered all those moments of no value to my soul
The night comes with a fever that I know can be controlled
No more

I lay awake, a thousand and one nights
In fear of death, and a thousand more besides
Begging for deliverance but avoiding what I know has to be done
I lay awake, a thousand and one nights
Afraid to live and strengthen my demise
Begging for deliverance but avoiding what I know has to be done

Addicted to the poison that he whispers to us all

Our trembling hands stretched forward justly to be rewarded
For our fall

Come, heal my wound, it hurts so bad / But not enough, not nearly enough

Will my despair suffice, I do not know
I cannot take it any more
Than you
Will you let me go

The voice of love, stronger by far
Than he who whispers the promise of damnation to mine ear:
You need not fear / Salvation those will taste that turn around
Unchain your heart / Deliverance is near

Please god, I can not let go

A night that shall no morrow see has come my way at last
And yet I know a streak of light in deepest night may dawn
Upon us all
