Absolution - Ghost

Ever since you were born you’ve been dying

Every day a little more you’ve been dying

Dying to reach the setting sun

As a child, with your mind on the horizon

Over corpses, to the prize you kept your eyes on

Trying to be the chosen one

All those things that you desire

You will find here in the fire

Put 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

Even now when you’re here you are moving

Hysterically seeking out what needs improving

And you’re still asking for the sun

All those things that you desire

You will find here in the fire

Put 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

You’ll cry

You’ll cry

You’ll cry

You’ll cry

You’ll cry

You’ll cry

Put 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

Put 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
