Penance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Green was my deceit
Like fickle embers to a flame
How came I to this?
So many faces without names
Final moments of a hundred eyes
Witness sacrifice divine
There's no justice
No retribution for our crimes
Sweet was my descent
Indulgence in the blackest eyes
Mercy from a god
Corruption was complete my friend
Hearing nothing but the lamb's shrill cry
Witness sacrifice divine
Cruelty in defeat
Receive this fallen angel
Empty are the words
This bitter silence holds no solace
No proportion to the pain we bring
None to make us feel the same
There's no justice
No retribution for our crimes
Only torment
From within a fractured mind
