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 nowhere 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 (come down and 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
