Bloodguilt

As a pig wallows in the mire. As a dog returns to his vomit
So I run to you with open arms and embrace you as my friend
And though I truly hate you I cannot kill you yet
For beneath my thin surface there lies a world of sin

Bloodguilt haunts my soul
For I know that I nailed you to that tree
Eroding that fortress of hate
You died in my place and you still love me
Bloodguilt brings me to my knees

I harbor a world of hate I caress my secret shame
But my fate is worse than the unbeliever for I know the power of your name
But call me not a hypocrite or a betrayer to me or yourself
Do not shoot your own brother I'm crying out for help
And when they say Lord, Lord why dost though not remember me
I pray that you will look to me with a tear swelled in your eye
And have mercy upon this child for I truly did try
And have mercy upon this child for I truly did try
