The Penance You Pay
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.
Send a bride to the sun
Appease his anger with blood
Walk the path chosen for you
As you ascend flesh and bone
The loveless ones
The fallen children of earth
Never will they be seen again
And still you think
That they will rise for you
You're wrong
Their faces haunt you in your sleep
Years of pain now you carry
This penance to the gods you'll pay
Lost your daughters to fire
For your sons the end of days
They'll never see
There's no wickedness
They believe
The loveless ones
The fallen children of earth
Never will they be seen again
And still you think
That they will rise for you
You're wrong
Their faces haunt you in your sleep
