Make the noise go away That which never ceases to stay Make it go far from never more to remain Never to harm anymore or my body to stain
Take the noise that I hear That which causes so much fear Take it away from me, this my sincerest plea Take far and destroy it, never more to be
For the noise I hear always comes to me Whenever I strive to do good with thee Kill, maim it never let it cross my path The noise that I hear is the devil's wrath
Take the noise away from me Never more shall it be For when it enters me It doesn't allow me to be free
The noise controls me and turns me around The noise dictates my footsteps upon an uneven ground The noise that I speak of is within The noise that is worse than sin
Help me I cry As I lay down for nigh For even in sleep I am haunted And I awake suddenly at life it has taunted
Forget about me and pretend I do not exist Be gone with thee and pack a weaker fist Do not hit me or harm me any longer For when the noise is away I can be stronger
But then it comes again And my deepest regrets it shall win The noise of pure hell and sin And those awful places it tells me it has been
I cannot run nor can I hide For the noise is upon me and always inside As if born with an affliction And to live and die at the benediction
Why am I the victim how shall I stand I crawl on the ground and hold out my hand For it is a blessing that I seek A blessing especially for the meek
Remove this noise And set me free I want to hear the voice Of the one who's come to save me.
