The Essence of Conviction - Evergrey

Her gentle hand in his

Revelation serves as bliss

They walk away from sunshine

Led to believe the lie

His lust for untouched youth

A well-kept secret sealed

His every night confession

Reveals the most profane obsession

Their trust is won and fate is conquered

The essence of conviction

(Why me?)

I did no wrong

I did not know

(You lied to me)

I meant no harm

And I am blaming me

Hand in hand down the altar aisle

Her father’s presence brings her to a smile

A grand welcome from the assembled crowd

Greeted as the «circle's"first child

Undressed to nothing and held to the sky

Her smile is gone and she starts to cry

Desperately seeking her father’s eyes

But he sees nothing, he’s blind…

«A little baby is born… Hallelujah!

This little baby is going to be the

Messiah!

He’s going to take away the power of sin.

God plants a cross right on

the doorstep to the throne of Satan.

No longer can he hold you in guilt,

condemnation, and fear!

He has no power to do that anymore.

And if you’re

under condemnation and fear, then go to the blood, confess and say, 'Devil,

you can’t condemn me anymore, I’m not a condemned man, I’m a free man.

' We have to kill the baby!»

(Why me?)

I did no wrong

I did not know

(You lied to me)

I meant no harm

And I am blaming me

(Why me?)

You lied to me…

You lied to me…

You lied to me…
