Redemption of a Sinner
I have been silent
But my silence speaks much louder than words
I can no longer hide the way I feel inside
My burden is getting heavier and heavier
And my head is about to burst
So I need to confess
myself
I am sinner!
A weak person begging your pardon
Lighten up my way to redemption
Because I need to brighten up my heart
Help me take away that dark linen
And drape myself with the white one
Because I need to be as pure as a newborn
Realising that I was quenching my thirst
From a polluted river,
Now I need to drink at the pure spring water
So as to purify my soul
Help me get rid of temptation
Because he is the source of my troubles
He seduced me and got me trapped
In its virtual paradise
I have been blind
My eyes have been covered by a dark curtain
I have been betrayed by my senses
But now my reason gets over it
So freedom (of soul) is possible
Confession is my only arm
And redemption my only way out
