"Delivered" lyrics
"Delivered"
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
