Renegade Saints Delivered

Freedom Down. Glory won.
Light the candle, hold it up to the sun.
I give my soul up so many times.
The flesh and the spirit, like sacramental wine.

[yeah]

I’ve seem to bit too much, more than I could swallow.
I took a look at the path, there was more there than I could follow.
I’m heavy laden with the load of faith,
I’m gonna drop it where I stand, fall out of grace.

‘Cause I’m making a witness, I am “delivered.”
Walkin’ on the shore with the waters at my knees,
I saw you kneeling in the sands by the moonlight,
I am delivered, won’t you listen to me?

[Listen]

Ooh, I remember you,
But I’ll forget it if you want me to.
Does it really seem to you so easy to deny,
What was bigger than the sea, bigger than the sky?

I’m making a witness, I am delivered,
Carry it like a hammock(?), through the slum on the streets.
I saw you drinking in the gutter at sunrise,
I am delivered, won’t you drink with me?

Lord, I know my hour.
Yes, I see it all.
I see it like a smile on a lonely face
I see it like spiders on my wall.
Watch them crawl.

But, I remember you my friend.
Into the dark and distant end.
I remember when we dared to bet it all.
Then we did, everything we had. Everything we had.

But I can’t see your face now.
So I, I try to recall the face
Where, where you surrendered,
And you lied, and you got to make the call.

Freedom down. Glory won.
I’m done with the candle, but the flame burns on and on and on.
I give my soul up so many times.
I given good measure, now I’m gonna take what’s mine.

‘Cause I’m making a witness, I am delivered.
Watching from the ghost barge on my way out to sea.
I still see you standing on the shore by the moonlight,
Yes, I am delivered, won’t you listen to me?
Listen to me.
I am, I am delivered.
[Oh]
[Listen]
