I'Ve Been There

I've let the side down Gone against the tide - down From where I had their trust To grovelling in the dust From Alpha to Anathema From healthy to a carrier Of disease and I have been In solitary quarantine. I've been there. I've been on the other side In me the others can't confide 'Cause I'm not Kosha anymore And I must wait outside the door Until my penance is complete And I can stand upon my feet I have betrayed those that I serve And I have got what I deserve. I've been there. And there I found him Smeared with other people's sin And mine - I know he saw, he knew The pain that I'd been going through Did what I'd done even evince From his bruised soul an extra wince? I'd nailed him up, joined in the kill But I knew, slowly, dawningly, He loved me still.
