Absolution

Lonely faces cast aside their chains of regret The angry leave when they can see the nothing they met Either despair in the end Or the hope to ascend Gravestones of a painful truth that shadow our lives The marks of war that stand above as our past still decides It’s not what’s within It’s what we see and win Through the ice our inner flame will rise and persuade Then the water comes to wash away the flame that still stays And past the dreams We find ourselves and our needs Destroy the world, we destroy ourselves – universally true But selfishness will fear death and carry it through Golden smiles Raping and inner denials Through the pain of demon lies, we rise and demand That absolution wants to see some peace in our hands The highest nights Provoke a brighter light
