Deliverance Lyrics
Believe in magic believe in lore legend and myth
And the hand that guides in the cunning of hope in the weaving of dreams
And the lady of the lake takes my hand and leads me
To the holy isle and the fairy rings and the circles of stone
Forever and again
Give me, give me, give me, deliverance
Brother, sister, give me, give me
Deliverance, deliver me
Surrender to the wisdom of age and the spirits of time
Remember our souls entwined for eternity
And the healing hand of the fairy queen will come to all who have faith in her
And the apple tree will bear it's fruit in the gardens of Avalon
Forever and again
Give me, give me, give me deliverance
Brother, sister, give me, give me
Deliverance, deliver me
Give me, give me, give me, deliverance
Brother, sister, give me, give me
Deliverance, deliver me
Let me sleep awhile and dream of Avalon and the Beltane fires
And a silent kiss steals away into the mist and out to the lake
Where the sword will rise again from the water into the
Hands of the chosen one the righteous one
Forever and again
And the hand that guides in the cunning of hope in the weaving of dreams
And the lady of the lake takes my hand and leads me
To the holy isle and the fairy rings and the circles of stone
Forever and again
Brother, sister, give me, give me
Deliverance, deliver me
Remember our souls entwined for eternity
And the healing hand of the fairy queen will come to all who have faith in her
And the apple tree will bear it's fruit in the gardens of Avalon
Forever and again
Brother, sister, give me, give me
Deliverance, deliver me
Give me, give me, give me, deliverance
Brother, sister, give me, give me
Deliverance, deliver me
And a silent kiss steals away into the mist and out to the lake
Where the sword will rise again from the water into the
Hands of the chosen one the righteous one
Forever and again

One critic described this as "Mission by numbers - the chorus is fantastic, the verses are embarassing."
The 12" version of this single contained samples from the movie Excalibur including Merlin's Charm of Making, and concluded with a hilarious deadpan recitation of Arthur's description of how he obtained Excalibur from Monty Python And The Holy Grail -
"The lady of the lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water - proving by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I'm your King!"
As being an old fan of Ronny James Dio I must admit that I like the verses too, not only the really good escalating music. The Mission succeeds in making this kind of lyrics less embarrassing than Dio, kudos.
