I dream of things most people are frightened of
they tend to dwell here, an asphyxiating disease
it's been so long since I've seen this ground
what right do I have to be here at all?
but in this fight for my life
there's no where else I'd rather have fallen
Amnesty
just pardon for my wrongs
but it doesn't change what I've done
they suffocate my air supply
threatening to take the vessel down
(take the whole thing down)
I'm terrified to be defined this way
can words bring healing rain?
or am I subject to blind dismay?
Amnesty
just pardon for my wrongs
but it doesn't change what I've done
Amnesty
I'm guilty where I stand
but I do know a man who'll save me
it's temporary but it feels eternal
I have nothing left to gain here
(there is nothing left for me)
deep in the heart of bitterness
I'll rip the root out, soak in cleansing
(cleanse me Lord)
This fire seems overwhelming
I offer up my soul
(take my soul)
You outstretch Your arms
death that was meant for me
You taught me
Amnesty
just pardon for my wrongs
but it doesn't change what I've done
Amnesty
I'm guilty where I stand
but I do know a man who'll save me
