Deliverance

Original Submission by Warren Carne

“Deliverance”

Time for you to finally say goodbye

No one knows how many times you've tried

Time for torture to wither up and die

Time to be resolutely brave

Time to embrace the love you desperately crave

Time to break open the cages

That has had you trapped up for ages

Time to finally take it to the bitter end

Time for you to be your very own best friend

It’s forever been a battle deep inside

Without you I might very well have died

Feeling the warmth that the day light brings

As all its love is eternally trapped deep within
