I Can't Understand

Can you run from me? 
I was the devil 
You was the sinner
Beckoning radiance of love
Please don't for get me?

I've seen light pour from your skin
Can I worship at your altar of delusions?
I'm only asking because I want to be 
A creep that takes everything
Can I bargain with you 
I'll keep you safe if you end me 

I can't save myself 
From the blood dripping down your vines
Is this the delusions of you
Or have you hung yourself
From the hand of grace 

Can we pray for a better life
Because this love is deluded 
I can't love you anymore

Can you run from me? 
I was the devil 
You was the sinner
Beckoning radiance of love
Please don't forget me?
