Deliver Me

I am finally here in paradise Where everything is beautiful and bright I have left the sickness of the world behind And I have found serenity in this secret heaven For to promise me this tomorrow I would kill you today Every moment in life has led me to this All that I am means nothing now that I am free For my cage is made of alabaster and gold And my reward is lifeless silence In exchange for a lifetime of affliction At rest in the heights of the world And the world is below At rest in the heights that overlook the world, and the world is below I say a quiet prayer of gratitude And like the truly saved, my vacant words fall into the sky And their echo reminds me that I am truly alone
