Past Penance

Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I just shot my Brother down. It's weighing heavy on my heart, I think it's time I'm leaving town. I know it says, Thou Shalt Not Kill, I did the opposite instead. But he tried to steal my woman, So I shot him in the head. Oh Father please, help me now, And what should my penance be? Is it too late to save my soul? I ask you now on bended knee. I can see the answer in your eyes, Since nothing more can be said. I'll just have to keep on running, Until the police shoot me dead.
