Penance & Expiation Lyrics


I watched the head fall

Broken faith, threaded flesh

Bells echoed silent resentment as the guilt remains still

Blood stained hands worn like a crown

Expiation, your punishment

His head is gone, can't be undone

The basket waiting below

Guilty conscience

I can't unhear his voice begging for mercy

Humiliation

Gasping, gasping for air

Agony floods, illusion fades

Callous soul, repent

Fading into nothing, taking his final breath

This is what you asked for

This is what you wanted

Broken faith, threaded flesh

Bells echoed silent resentment

Blood stained hands worn like a crown

Expiation, your punishment

His head is gone, can't be undone

The basket waiting below

Guilty conscience

Fade to nothing

Callous soul

Repent, no remorse

Callous soul
