Deliver Me From Darkness
In bed I'm lying Trying to wake up All I need to awaken my mind is a lucid dream a vivid thought An unanswered prayer to evoke the question â??Can I talk to god?â? â??Carry the heavy stone?â? â??Walk around without a trace of self-preservation?â? In a war of wills I'm always fighting a lost cause Always too afraid to accept dissent Never mind the truth Make a decision that will alter fate In bed I'm dying Trying to feel something Praying for an answer A reason to remain An answer to a question â??How do I know this is reality?â? â??Where can I find a person with resolve?â? and â??When did life stop making sense?â? SongtexteIn chaos, we unite In unity, we survive In war, the living envy the dead Too many minds occupy the sky and they rain on the world below and a beautiful rainbow reminds us that we will not die I'm alone in a prison I've created reading the book of Revelations but I haven't felt a change Inside this empty shell shallow be thy name I played the fiddle while Nazareth burned Now a crucifix will bring me shame Dance without care Flow without fear Live without anxiety A halo will appear Now you can deliver me from darkness My lips are chapped Fingers blistered And tears like wine drip from my mind's eye I am a man of harsh reality and the bad I see in others only shows the bad in me I'm kneeling on the floor Looking to the sky I can sense it even more that I can't let myself cry There's been a life-long struggle to make this man happy Now I will burn with you forever just to say â??I hate youâ? Dance without care Flow without fear Live without anxiety A halo will appear Now you can deliver me from darkness Conflicting spirits in the mist have denied my request for salvation They torment me with the knowledge of this These demons control my isolation I get so tired of explaining myself Living each day like I were somebody else A mission to relieve all of the pain through a gray haze, trapped in an intricate maze I can't explain the need to live these days as if they were my last Give up Don't sacrifice a thing Your life is yours Don't let anyone talk you into capitulation Drink from the tree of life and breathe it in like life Dance without care Flow without fear Live without anxiety A halo will appear Now you can deliver me from darkness I don't think I care to wait and see what happens next There is a world of thrill and joy but this world spins without me I cannot reach my providence Spirit dies In bed I'm lying dying trying to carry on to expel the hate to emerge from darkness and shadows of gloom The spirit willing I can wake from slumber unaware of my past Living a new life The spirit alive in every light Aus Songtexte Mania
