Lyrics

Take this stain from my memory
This pain from my soul
My spirit is tainted
Is my sin painted
For all to see?
Lord, protect me, I'm in danger
Stalked, taunted, preyed on
Even in my sleep
The strong eat the weak
What is this pull on me?
Why can't I break free from its hold?
A force like gravity dragging me under
Why won't they leave me alone?
What do they want from me, what do they see?
Even in my sleep, the strong eat the weak
Take it all away, Lord, save me from my dreams
Beautiful nightmares, lovely phantoms
Tempting, begging, haunting my sleep
Take it all away, Lord, wash me clean
[Instrumental]
Now you clean
The Lord washed him clean
The Lord washed him clean (He's clean)
The Lord washed him clean
Washed him, washed him clean
Washed him, washed him clean
