The Essence Of Conviction Lyrics - Evergrey

Her gentle hand in his 

Revelation serves as bliss 

They walk away from sunshine 

Led to believe the lie 

His lust for untouched youth 

A well kept secret sealed 

His every night confession 

Reveals the most profane obsession 

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 "circles" 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.
