The night whispered a distant dream
The ashes fell to dust
An innocent; A deathly scream
Another dead - for my bloodlust

Oh cursed life; Eternity
Tied; My flesh-bound soul
Pray a prayer to set me free
I'm weary of this wretched role

Delivered us from evil
Forgive us for our sins
For we are gods creation
Condemned and chained by him

A million lives lay shattered
Laid to rest beneath a stone
But all that really mattered
Was that they had found a home

For the dead are always smiling
Free now from the past
Love and envy for who I'm killing
I know they're happy in peace at last

Delivered us from evil
Forgive us for our sins
For we are gods creation
Condemned and chained by him

I beg thee judge me kindly
I beg thee set me free
Banish me from this world
I crave the true eternity

Delivered us from evil
Forgive us for our sins
For we are gods creation
Condemned and chained by him
