Weep for the Innocent (Mourn the Wicked)

If I could take the pain, I would
The restless night, misunderstood
The scars cut deep and deeper still
I donned the wreath of Peter's Hill

The leaves are gone and thorns remain
The years go by, it's all the same
Does sorrow ever drink her fill?
My tongue drips poison, I'm poised to kill

I've sewn my wounds with horses' mane
I've nursed my hurt in morning rain
I've not the strength of men who will
To take my revenge, my choice to kill

But all my schemes are born in vain
To take their life with no restraint, oh
Need's not a plan, simply the will
My tongue drips poison, I'm poised to kill

"Vengeance is mine!" I understood
Yet took my life, abandoned my brotherhood
I threw the stone as it left my grasp
I stood condemned in fields of glass

If I could take the pain, I would
A restless night, misunderstood
The leaves are gone, the thorns remain
The years have passed, it's all the same
