Lyrics

Amends

I'd much prefer our older gods
with their swift punishment
to twisting in these softer winds
of our new covenant

While you've let go and been restored
your face lit by the sun
I cannot forgive myself
or forget what I have done

Once you start the wheels to turn
you've got to let them roll
but I'm begging you to strike me down
instead of withering my soul

The kindness that you offer me
is proof that we've evolved
but until the day you hurt me back
I'll be writhing unresolved
