Penitent Man
Conversion of heart
Taking on the heavy cross of works
Following myself
Towards penance and all its perks
Your language is mine
Your ideals may die
Arms raised and wide open
I pray to an empty sky
From the most mundane offenses
To severe atrocities
Forgiveness is necessary
To let your conscience free
Your language is mine
But instead you, I
Kneel before a mirror
And pray for an empty sky
From the most mundane offenses
To severe atrocities
Forgiveness is necessary
To let your conscience free
What must I become
To elude my woes?
A treacherous one
Free of all sorrows?
The penitent man
Atoning and free
Kneels before his final authority
Rest the first
Cast the second
You abstain from throwing the first stone
Yet seconds you gladly cast
In spite of all your best efforts
Your guilt you won't outlast
Now you must submit
Submit to your fi-
Nal authority
Final authority
Taking on the heavy cross of works
Following myself
Towards penance and all its perks
Your language is mine
Your ideals may die
Arms raised and wide open
I pray to an empty sky
From the most mundane offenses
To severe atrocities
Forgiveness is necessary
To let your conscience free
Your language is mine
But instead you, I
Kneel before a mirror
And pray for an empty sky
From the most mundane offenses
To severe atrocities
Forgiveness is necessary
To let your conscience free
What must I become
To elude my woes?
A treacherous one
Free of all sorrows?
The penitent man
Atoning and free
Kneels before his final authority
Rest the first
Cast the second
You abstain from throwing the first stone
Yet seconds you gladly cast
In spite of all your best efforts
Your guilt you won't outlast
Now you must submit
Submit to your fi-
Nal authority
Final authority
