Ever since you were born you've been dying
Every day a little more you've been dying
Dying to reach the setting sunAs a child, with your mind on the horizon
Over corpses, to the prize you kept your eyes onTrying to be the chosen oneAll those things that you desire
You will find there in the firePut your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolutionEven now when you're here you are moving
Hysterically seeking out what needs improving
And you're still asking for the sunAll those things that you desire
You will find there in the firePut your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolutionYou'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cryPut your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolutionPut your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
