Everybody knows that a child is the greatest of blessings
But all we seem to want to do is hurry up and grow
I wish I could go back to when I didn't understand the setting
Before I killed you with my bare hands, I wish I would have known
I can't wash off the blood, can't close my eyes
Killed you in the darkness, now I miss the light
No mercy for the guilty
But I made my choice
You screamed so loud, I wish I'd heard your voice....
Now I can feel it deep down, in my roots, a dark desire
I wish that I could cut the tree down
Cuz I need to build a fire
As the darkness calls
And the ashes call
I don't know what to do
Father, I'm sorry, but the rope you tossed me,
I've twisted it into my noose.
And now my honor is tarnished
I've lost my heart and my home
I didn't mean to harm them
But I cut to the bone.
Now my honor is tarnished
Once my throne was of gold
But now it's ash and pyrite, and I'm not alright
I wish I would heal on my own,
But don't leave me alone....
