DELIVERANCE LYRICS

1. Legum Servi Sumus Ut Liberi Esse Possimus (Intro)

2. Cause And Effect

Blame the gods for the deeds & wills of violent men
Forced inception interrupts the plan
Create the lies & breed the hate
Feeding of the lions to commemorate

Zero tolerance for Biblical creed
Anti-Christ laying its seed
Mark the words written on the wall
Truth divides how the mighty will fall

Saddened by the weak minded thoughts of ill mankind
Sadder still is when I look in your eyes
Create the hate & breed the lie
Dividing forces into millions, the world dies

Zero tolerance for Biblical creed
Anti-Christ laying its seed
Mark the words written on the wall
Truth divides how the mighty will fall

Have you not seen? Have you not heard?
The day of shadows is at hand!
Your eyes have seen! Your ears have heard!
Decree this hour unto man!

3. Return To Form

A tour de force, the old school returns to form
Sounds to me like an overdose of chloroform
I’ve read beliefs and values that bend the scene
A fine line between ideals and obscene
The people say they want the past come born again
Regurgitate the truth from lies, see how it bends
Plagiarize the greatest story ever told
Play the bluff on the cards to see who first folds

Character flaws seems to be the latest trend
Like looking for lost loves by simply clicking send
Zeroes and heroes returning from their graves
To spread the hatred cloaked with the words “Jesus Saves”
I never understood the need to criticize
In same likeness so far my words ostracize
The pointless task to tell what you already know
The course endeavor of sailing high and staying low

Return to form

Time marches on, yet in a circle we run
The cowards way of dying, whilst I reflect the sun
I find myself in the same sea I once escaped
Shipwrecked again while I brave the waters that rape
The fire burns, surrounding smoke to block the view
Creation to serration, despair ensues
I’ll pursue it once, maybe twice to avoid conform
The bastardized approach, the dregs return to form

Return to form

A tour de force, the old school returns to form
Sounds to me like an overdose of chloroform
I’ve read beliefs and values that bend the scene
A fine line between ideals and obscene
The people say they want the past come born again
Regurgitate the truth from lies, see how it bends
Plagiarize the greatest story ever told
Play the bluff on the cards to see who first folds

4. As Above - So Below

The mirror is held up high, reflection’s hard to see
A darkened view of what this world’s to be
Illusion is set, and the glassy skies do not exist
As the perfect world stares, the lower worlds persist
Silence is felt as the Spirit moves upon the deep
And chaos finds it’s harmony when dark and light finally meet

Let the mountains shake and the rocks declare your glory
As it is with you, so mote it be with me
Let the rivers run strong and all nature bow with humility
As it is with you, so mote it be with me

Quicken the hearts to ‘receive’ the unfettered plan
And lose yourself in the eyes of an egoless drowning man
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done both light and in the dark
In my body the Holy Name, I bear the mark

Let the mountains shake and the rocks declare your glory
As it is with you, so mote it be with me
Let the rivers run strong and all nature bow with humility
As it is with you, so mote it be with me

Your creatures turn to sedition, has the ocean lost its way?
In matters of transition, reflective powers fight decay
I see through the crystal haze to find myself again
How is it that beauty only reflects disdain?
As above – so below in light and in the dark
In my body, the Holy Name, I bear the mark

Let the mountains shake and the rocks declare your glory
As it is with you, so mote it be with me
Let the rivers run strong and all nature bow with humility
As it is with you, so mote it be with me

5. Screaming

Silence in the night, in between the compass readings
Pages turn in my head and keep my mind breathing
My eyes close, I take the night flight once again
To where my dreams turn so real, and feel the coming rain

Screaming out, intensity builds
Running from my fear of Hell
Trapped inside surrounding walls
By this power, will I be held?

How long will I allow
This evil to continue
Awake at night until I slip into the dream
Visions screaming in my brain, trying to reclaim

Screaming out, intensity builds
Running from my fear of Hell
Trapped inside surrounding walls
By this power, will I be held?

Careful as I tread the night
Laying on this sea of shattered glass
I need the peace promised, is it waiting there for me?
Or will I once again, meet the black and empty stare?

Screaming out, intensity builds
Running from my fear of Hell
Trapped inside surrounding walls
By this power, will I be held?

6. Should We Cross Paths

I’ve turned the other cheek, now your time is due
No plans for limitations of what I will do
With a crushing blow you will feel my hand
Striking on you like the grains of sand

You have done us wrong, no more we will take
The chips are all in, there’s too much at stake
Your raping force has caused nothing to lose
Your waiting demise will be courting the muse

We’ve had all that we can take! Nothing more to have!
The Worlds disintegrates, should we cross paths!

Justice lies beyond the Wailing Wall
To cleanse the threshing floor of failings all
A cure for humanity, to eliminate the waste
Should we cross paths, my victory you’ll taste

We’ve had all that we can take! Nothing more to have!
The Worlds disintegrates, should we cross paths!

7. Contempt

You stole from my life and the endearing part of my youth
You led me thru and all around in your circus you called ‘truth’
Take a knee and learn to submit, it’s the only way!
You said it was to God, but somehow you were always in the way

Never again – Never again – never again
Will I submit to you!
Never again – Never again – never again
Will I bend to you!

With trembling hands, I remember terror when I look at these scars
The tears of hate would roll as I ponder how you’d go so far
Scatter the sheep, and the shepherd moves in for the kill
Shear the little ones many times, skin them only once of their will

Never again – Never again – never again
Will I submit to you!
Never again – Never again – never again
Will I bend to you!

You prayed for the well, while the sick couldn’t make it to the stage
Performed ill-licensed counsel while playing the role of a sage
I learned to hate myself, to be ashamed of what I feel
Unable to determine from what is a farce and what is real

Never again – Never again – never again
Will I submit to you!
Never again – Never again – never again
Will I bend to you!

8. Thistles

[Instrumental]

9. My Love

Alas, the years have, have fallen upon us
Thru the storms and seeing the lighted end
Weight lifted in times for the rush
Remember when you first came into my sight

I fell just like a dream, it seems so long ago
Conscience, it did not take long
To see all that you were to me
My love, all that I am is yours…

Soaring on the wings, they caress you in the dark
Listen to the waters that calm us in surreal
Believe the Faith that’s led us this far
Emptiness filled by all that we feel

I fell just like a dream, it seems so long ago
Conscience, it did not take long
To see all that you were to me
My love, all that I am is yours…

Amazed at the heights, surround my total being
A wall, a sigh, a whisper ignites
Time will tell fantasy’s withheld
Insurmountable force, turning wrong to right

I fell just like a dream, it seems so long ago
Conscience, it did not take long
To see all that you were to me
My love, all that I am is yours…

10. Enlightened

I see the minds of enlightened man forging through the fiery gates
I hear intelligible words of reason foster seeds of love with hate
I smell arrogance dripping from their beings about gods that don’t exist
With a smile and a kiss they welcome me thoughts I can’t resist
The argument of man against deity with a scientific findings of truth
With more faith than me in a world that finds itself in constant refute

And I read between
All the things unseen

To justify their plans with ministry of absolute defect
And cure the world of a sickness that has plagued us with extreme effect
The need for man to cling to a hope that’s beyond themselves
And place in reach the firm belief that we’ve created our own hell

And I read between
All the things unseen
I hear all the obscene
The wretched human being

Logical sites to contradict the stories we were told
And question the men of truth whose lies slowly unfold
The differences between the worlds are ones of fact and of faith
Either way you paint it, taste it, it all ends with blinding hate

And I read between
All the things unseen
I hear all the obscene
The wretched human being

I hear and see your point of view, and understand the arguments clear
I don’t want to end our talk with a fist of rage or a sighing tear
So let it be written, so let it be done, you have your views and I have mine
No sense to argue anymore because at least we agree we’re all part of mankind…
