Lyrics Evergrey – The Essence Of Conviction

Her gentle hand in his
Revelation serves as bliss
They walk away from sunshine
Led to believe the lie

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

You lied to me…
