Penance

Blood is in my eyes
Carnadine forget me nots
Everybody dies
Everybody riots
All our lives are in penance
And penance is all we've got
God is on the news
The moribund ol' sot
Mad and arabesque
Along the riot-lot
All our lives are in penance
And penance is all we've got
It's just a world of hurt
For everyone involved
Penance for a dream
There's nothing fair about it
No forgiving traits that I can see
We have made ourselves
Images of God
Can't you tell?
Holy polaroids
Snapshots of a Summer
Spent in Hell
The Devil prance around
Like the cock of the walk
Imitating sounds
From the human talk
All our lives are in penance
And penance is all we've got
Love is making noise
Once a valiant goal
But all the girls & boys
Has made the loving foul
All our lives are in penance
And penance is all we've got
