Our Deliverance

Lyrics

Now we can say that nothings lost
 And only change brings 'round the prophecy
 Well now it's melting the solid frost
 Was once a veil on greener landscapes we would see
 Beneath my surface the water's heating
 The steam comes up and out the tears you see me shine
 For every strange and bitter moment
 There was never a better time
 For every pleasure exacts its pain
 How you hurt me, how you were good to me
 Beneath my window a mournful train
 That makes me smile at my bad poetry
 But beneath my surface a song is rising
 And it may be simple well it hides it's true intent
 We may be a looking for our deliverance
 But it has already been sent
 It's in the nightfall when the light falls
 And what you've seen isn't there anymore
 It's in our blind trust, love will find us
 Just like it has before
 They're sending soldiers to distant places
 X's and O's on someones drawing board
 Like green and plastic but with human faces
 And they want to tell you it's a merciful sword
 But with all the blood newly dried in the desert
 Can we not fertilize the land with something else
 There is no nation by God exempted
 Lay down your weapons and love your neighbor as yourself
 It's in the nightfall when the light falls
 And what you've seen isn't there anymore
 It's through our blind trust that love will find us
 Just like it has before
