Deliver us.

How can I make you understand?
Time has slipped away like sand.
We are standing on the edge of the abyss.

Wipe the blood from guilty hands,
for there are great things here at hand.
And they were long before we sealed it with a kiss.

And for every good thing, a season.
You bring reason to my insanity.
I'm at war with my own vanity once more.

I got a barrel 'o monkeys on my back,
got a train of thought layin' off the track.
But, put me on my wheel and let me show you what I came here for.

    So deliver us from evil.
    Deliver us from sin.
    There is a death upon me,
    and another death within.
     
    Deliver us from evil.
    Deliver us from shame.
    Wash us in the water
    that has made us all the same.
     
How can I wrap your brain around
this eternal truth I've found
about this world, and how it's rotting to it's core?

Like we all started smoking crack,
and we're too burnt-out to turn back.
My blood burns, and I can't help but cry for more, so

    Deliver us from evil.
    Deliver us from sin.
    There is a death upon me,
    and another death within.
       
    Deliver us from evil.
    Deliver us from shame.
    Wash us in the water
    that has made us all the same.
