Cruel Deliverance

[Spoken intro]
"Riverbank. Old Belt to the left. Speaker bell chimes. Blue and green LEDs. Ferris wheel moves too fast. Police search. The UVs attract a thousand bites
Man asks, ‘What will you do after the future?’."

[Verse 1]
She rolls tear
Don’t comfort her when she cries
Come back, fear
I’ll pick her up when she fights

[Pre-Chorus]
And now turn, turn your back
You take enough
Burn, turn your back
You’re brave enough

[Chorus]
It’s a cruel deliverance
In our worlds, in our wounds
It’s a cruel deliverance
And I rush too far

[Verse 2]
The rose tips
Don’t cover up where you lie
Command fear!
I’ll come and look when you hide

[Pre-Chorus]
And now turn, turn your back
You take enough
Burn, turn your back
You’re brave enough

[Chorus]
It’s a cruel deliverance
In our worlds, in our wounds
It’s a cruel deliverance
And I rush too far

[Bridge]
You scold, explode, I run!
You scold, explode, I run!
Now thunder burst, we pull the earth!
You scold, explode, I run!
Messiah, come, allure the Earth!
You scold, explode, I run!

[Chorus]
It’s a cruel deliverance
In our worlds, in our wounds
It’s a cruel deliverance
And I rush too far
It’s a cruel deliverance
In our worlds, in our wounds
(And when the love bursts, you pull us into fear
You scream out loud, now only silence here.)
It’s a cruel deliverance
And I rush too far
(And when the love bursts, you pull us into fear
You scream out cold, now only silence sears.)

[Spoken outro]
“Standing in the heights, remnants of hearts on the ground. Memorial in silhouette, museum closed
Rats in the cavity and pits infected. Packed up the hill, reversed, stopped at the border and questioned by guards. Foreign relics.”
