Lyrics
Absolution
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.
Ever since you were born you've been dying
Every day a little more you've been dying
Dying to reach the setting sun
As I child with your mind on the horizon
Over corpses to the prize you kept your eyes on
Trying to be the chosen one
All those things that you desire
You will find here in the fire
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
Even now when you here you are moving
Hysterically seeking out what needs improving
You are still asking for the sun
All those things that you desire
You will find here in the fire
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
