I see what she wanted but not what I need
I have been left stranded all alone on this bloody street
Will someone come bless this mess
That has been left broken and incomplete?

I see daylight breaking at the crack of dawn
I see hopes of Delilah as an ancient bygone
Will someone come bless this mess
And save a soul withdrawn?

I have escaped Delilah's grips
And the lies of her lips
Will someone come bless this mess
And place me on the right escape ships?

I stand underneath this new daylight
As I rid myself of the gaslight
Will someone come bless this mess
And make it alright?

I now pick myself up and stand on my own
I push heel-first and crush the digital moonstone
Will someone come bless this mess
And build from it a cornerstone?

I see a new life across the sea
A queen's casualty, a king's custody
Will someone come bless this mess?
As I lay my autopsy bare and soar at my apogee

I am reborn into a being anew
My life bleeds colours of a different hue
Will someone come bless this mess?
I no longer wish for crimson to seep through
