I know we sacrificed
I nearly lost my life
Abiding sadness
Enduring madness
This is sickness
Needing forgiveness
I break the cycle of heartache
I cannot take

I went astray entangled in the fray
I lost my way in your retribution
But give me absolution
Absolution
Don't hate me forever

You won't consume me
You never knew me
There is no way I'll let you break me down into pieces
I'm not defeated
Won't be mistreated
Don't be conceited that
You were never needed
I know what I've done
I never tried to run
The burden's not mine alone
And I'm not made of stone

I went astray entangled in the fray
I lost my way in your retribution
But give me absolution

Up until now I've worn this pain like a shroud
Your pain is mine
And I think it's time
That I face this loss
And let go this cross
That I've had to bare
I no longer care

And I'm not scared of anyone or anything even you
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing left to prove
Theres nothing left to lose

I went astray entangled in the fray
I lost my way in your retribution
But give me absolution
Absolution
Give me absolution
Absolution
