Deify
Disturbed · Ten Thousand Fists [2005]
I am no longer afraid
I was too blinded to see
How much you've stolen from me
You wanna know why
I feel so horrified
I let my innocence die
You wanna know why
I can't be pacified
You make me bury something
I wont be sleeping tonight
I only wanted a blessing made
Now I've been labeled a renegade
It seems so clear now what I must do
You're no immortal, I wont let them
Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented man
You wanna know why
It seems the passion's died
We've all been living this lie
You wanna know why
My will's been fortified
You make me hunger again
Good luck sleeping tonight
I only wanted a blessing made
Now I've been labeled a renegade
It seems so clear now what I must do
You're no immortal, I wont let them
Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented man
All my devotion's betrayed
I am no longer afraid
I was too blinded to see
How much you've stolen from me
Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented man
Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented man
