Throes of Atonement

On the riverbank

She stood there motionless and looked at her

Malicious, devilish, the queen of gloat

Her beauty she won't mourn

Dissident

She stood there sacrosanct, a spouse of Christ

Saint, untouchable, and she despised

The brightness of her mind

A jig of misery, the ballad of the fallen

A sad, sad song, untuned and lorn

Blown out by the wind

For all the harm you've done

Now penance has begun

Betrayers, deceivers

Rats and unbеlievers

I stare into thеir eyes

Fragments before she died

Just craving for some help

Throes of atonement

A rivalry

Adolescent jealousy, burning deep

Reducing in cinder and flames

The beliefs of a childhood's tale

An unclean creature

Chimera of the old one, preacher

Impure and servant of heathenry

She deserves her destiny, oh

A jig of misery, the ballad of the fallen

A sad, sad song, untuned and lorn

Blown out by the wind

For all the harm you've done

Now penance has begun

Betrayers, deceivers

Rats and unbelievers

I stare into their eyes

Fragments before she died

Just craving for some help

Throes of atonement

For all the harm you've done

Now penance has begun

Betrayers, deceivers

Rats and unbelievers

I stare into their eyes (into their eyes)

Fragments before she died (before she died)

Just craving for some help

Throes of atonement
