Penance Lyrics

Album: Ruminate

Behold! Stands, the sinner!

The filth, the vice; made flesh!

Transgression incarnate

What wretched being!

Repent in shame!

For there is no absolution

May you never be released

From damnation

May your sins be carved in your bones

Through agony you will be reminded

A lesson learned, the rod unspared

For a child so spoiled

A guilty conscience, as the bird

To feast on you for eternity

May you be riddled with guilt

A burden, never relieved

Feel as the penance courses (in you)

And drains you empty

Suffering as atonement

A punishment well deserved.
