Deliverence Letra

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
