Our Deliverance

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Now we can say that nothing's 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 waters 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 [Verse 2] 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 its true intent We may be looking for our deliverance But it has already been sent [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] It's in the nightfall When the light falls And what you've seen Isn't there anymore It's through our blind trust Love will find us Just like it has before
