MEA CULPA
All rise
And gaze upon the fallen man
As he faces judgment on the stand
Mea culpa, I will bear this cross
My Via Dolorosa I must walk
I have masterminded this precipitous collapse
The architect of my demise is in the looking glass
From atop your feckless throne
You would cast stone after stone
Skinned alive down to the bone
How can I atone?
Your lies
Have led you down this errant path
Answer to their wrath
You cannot expect forgiveness
This is something you must live with
Your quest thus far has been driven
With intent of full redemption
Your pursuit of absolution
From your victim is the true sin
There is only one thing you should
Ever say about this day
Mea culpa, I have earned my fate
My shoulders bear consequence's crushing weight
I looked my albatross directly in the eye
It told me retrospective guilt is not an alibi
Mea culpa, I will bear this cross
My Via Dolorosa I must walk
I have masterminded this precipitous collapse
The architect of my demise is in the looking glass
Mea culpa, I have earned my fate
My shoulders bear consequence's crushing weight
I looked my albatross directly in the eye
It told me retrospective guilt is not an alibi
And gaze upon the fallen man
As he faces judgment on the stand
Mea culpa, I will bear this cross
My Via Dolorosa I must walk
I have masterminded this precipitous collapse
The architect of my demise is in the looking glass
From atop your feckless throne
You would cast stone after stone
Skinned alive down to the bone
How can I atone?
Your lies
Have led you down this errant path
Answer to their wrath
You cannot expect forgiveness
This is something you must live with
Your quest thus far has been driven
With intent of full redemption
Your pursuit of absolution
From your victim is the true sin
There is only one thing you should
Ever say about this day
Mea culpa, I have earned my fate
My shoulders bear consequence's crushing weight
I looked my albatross directly in the eye
It told me retrospective guilt is not an alibi
Mea culpa, I will bear this cross
My Via Dolorosa I must walk
I have masterminded this precipitous collapse
The architect of my demise is in the looking glass
Mea culpa, I have earned my fate
My shoulders bear consequence's crushing weight
I looked my albatross directly in the eye
It told me retrospective guilt is not an alibi
