Guilty Hands
Nine Lashes
I’ve watched you wander about
With nowhere to go but down
Or back to beginnings
I never wanted you out
To follow the broken path
Down to your ending
Guilty hands
Have paved the way
To emptiness
So tell me
Why do you run?
Why are you hiding?
Your guilt will know where to find you
Lay down your guns
What are you fighting?
Is my name not Forgiveness?
I see you withering now
A stubborn little broken man
So lost and alone
I wish that I could amend
The heart of my fading friend
But you would rather have it your way
Guilty hands
Have paved the way
To emptiness
So tell me
Why do you run?
Why are you hiding?
Your guilt will know where to find you
Lay down your guns
What are you fighting?
Is my name not Forgiveness?
Won’t you swallow your pride
And let me erase your stains
You run and you hide
But the darkness will have its way
I never wanted you to find your death
Why do you run?
Why are you hiding?
Your guilt will know where to find you
Lay down your guns
What are you fighting?
Is my name not Forgiveness?
