Ailanthus – Malum lyrics
Father, I have sinned
I have disappointed you
I was never able to understand.
I ask you to guide
I hope for your forgiveness
I long to understand
Forgive me
Father, I have failed
I've become lost easily.
With faith dissolved I plead for your mercy
Let me rest, finally
Close my eyes on the horrors I have seen
Turn the page, hit rewind
These words may have been wrong.
You were never there for me, King of Lies
You the murderer-your hands are stained with my blood
These wounds are still fresh, your knife cold, deep inside.
I want you to beg. Repent for the pain you gave. Pray for my forgiveness, Father
Let me rest, finally
Close my eyes on the horrors I have seen
Our Father, did you stray from heaven? How could I with love say your name? Thy kingdom fell, your will has become the destruction of the earth and the death of heaven. Give me this day, my daily prayer, to understand your trespasses as I try to forgive you for destroying me. I have strayed into temptation. You have failed to deliver me from evil.
Let me rest, finally
Close my eyes on the horrors I have seen
