The Queen of Repentance

On the morn of the eve of infinity Saw the eyes of a stranger I knew As she danced to the tune of the Devil By the silvery light of the moon I said " Lady I came here for drinkin'" But her burning gaze finished my sentence She said " Sir! Won't you tell me your secret And I'll be your queen of repentance" So soldier or sailor live life to the last Believe in the truth of expectance For in some dark tavern or shady bordello You may meet her the queen of repentance Then her hand held mine like a grape to a vine With a promise of pleasures untold And this angel or wraith was to replace my faith And shone light in a soul turned cold So soldier or sailor come tell her your secret For she's your last chance of redemption Let the black in your soul be replaced by the light Where no sin is too great for exemption
