Alchemy X - Penance lyrics

Green was my deceit Like fickle embers to a flame How came I to this? So many faces without names Final moments of a hundred eyes Witness sacrifice divine There's no justice No retribution for our crimes Sweet was my descent Indulgence in the blackest eyes Mercy from a god Corruption was complete my friend Hearing nothing but the lamb's shrill cry Witness sacrifice divine Cruelty in defeat Receive this fallen angel Empty are the words This bitter silence holds no solace No proportion to the pain we bring None to make us feel the same There's no justice No retribution for our crimes Only torment From within a fractured mind
