As I walk through the valley of the
shadow of L.A.
The footsteps that were next to me have
gone their separate ways
I've seen enough now to know that beautiful things don't
always stay that way
I've done enough now to know this beautiful place isn't
everything they say
I heard that evil comes disguised
like the city of angels I'm walking towards the light
Baptized in the river I've seen a
vision of my life And I wanna be delivered
In the city I was a sinner I've done a
lot of things wrong But I swear I'm a believer
Like the prodigal son I was out on my
own Now I'm trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river I'm delivered I'm delivered
{M.Shadows:}
You?re from a small town You're gonna grow up fast
underneath these lights.
Down in Hollywood on the boulevard, the
dead come back to life.
To the praying Mother the worried Father,
Let your children go.
If they come back they'll come home stronger, and
if they don't you'll know
They say that evil comes disguised
like the city of angels I'm walking towards the light
Baptized in the river I've seen a
vision of my life And I wanna be delivered
In the city I was a sinner I've done a
lot of things wrong But I swear I'm a believer
Like the prodigal son I was out on my
own Now I'm trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river I'm delivered I'm delivered
Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered
Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered
(on my own)
Baptized in the river I've seen a
vision of my life And I wanna be delivered
In the city I was a sinner I've done a
lot of things wrong But I swear I'm a believer
Like the prodigal son I was out on my
own Now I'm trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river I'm delivered I'm delivered
Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered
Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered
I confess I'm a sinner I've seen a
vision of my life And I wanna be delivered
