Deliverance

I lived under the tree of life
Feeding off whatever is left
After the kings have feast
Ignoring my every need
The first will be the last
But this strain will break my back
The strings I pull are getting shorter
And the flame is getting warmer
What if you’re nothing
And I’ve been deceived by trusting
Show me to believe
Because life will claim
All that I’ve ever known
Everyday I’ve raised the sword
To separate everything you left ignored
With the words in my hand
And the faith in my heart
I’ve seen the sword rip existence apart
Judgment burns you left and right
Don’t you dare cross to my side
Rumors cripple the image
You create
Show me to believe
Because life will claim
All that I’ve ever known
What if you’re nothing
And I’ve been deceived by trusting
But what if I’m wrong?
I can’t conceive a world without You in it
I can’t believe there was a time
That you did not exist to me
As my spine bends back
And I’m about to break
There you stand with my feet misplaced
Show me to believe
Because life will claim
All that I’ve ever known
