Delivered - The Call

I saw you in a clear light

Unspeakable in words

I pretend I did not know you

I pretend I never heard

Of a sadness only parents feel

When innocence is gone

To loathe this cruel creation

That I walk upon

Oh God I hate these sleepless nights

This solitary dark

Where devils play inside my mind

And plot to steal my heart

Accusations, accusations

Or allies in disguise

I don’t feel alone

I don’t feel alone

Delivered

Stand and be delivered

Let no one deceive you

Beware the deceiver

Doubts rise up to towering heights

I bow as to a king

Who beats me to submission

Who beckons me with screams

But can this be the one I seek

At every waking hour?

To lay upon me every gift

That lies beyond my power

Delivered

Stand and be delivered

Let no one deceive you

Beware the deceiver

Pity is the greater love

The movement of the heart

Manufactories of human pain

Perverts the senses, destroys the aim

Drive me on, drive me on

Into the very depths

I feel I’ve come home

I feel I’ve come home

Delivered

Delivered

Let no one deceive you

Beware the deceiver
