A defeated man now stands before a tree
Begging for his chains to be set free
Negotiating for the terms of his release
Grandeur delusions of a path built on deceit
So Stay
Stay away from lies that lead you to a grave
Leave behind the life that held you down in pain
Stay away from all that brings you misery
Live a life that brings you to another day
A defeated man now stands upon a tree (On a tree)
Longing for his chains to be set free
His mind, broken now says there's a way for peace (Way for peace)
Grandeur delusions of a path built on deceit
So Stay (So stay)
Stay away from lies that lead you to a grave
Leave behind the life that held you down in pain
Stay away from all that brings you misery (Stay away)
And live a life that brings you to another day
Stay away! (Stay)
(Stay away)
You start to tread the line
Leaving the light behind
Abandoned Gospel for the "truth" of man?
You seek to hear the lie
That it will be alright
You sought to live that lie
Until you lost your life
I'm sorry I couldn't save you!
[But Salvation can't be found through the ways of man]
I couldn't save!
[But you made the choice to leave it all behind]
I'm sorry I couldn't save you!
[You tried to run to be free from the pain]
I couldn't save!
[But now your pain is ours]
Ours to stay
