Penance

Blood is in my eyes

Carnadine forget me nots

Everybody dies

Everybody riots

All our lives are in penance

And penance is all we've got

God is on the news

The moribund ol' sot

Mad and arabesque

Along the riot-lot

All our lives are in penance

And penance is all we've got

It's just a world of hurt

For everyone involved

Penance for a dream

There's nothing fair about it

No forgiving traits that I can see

We have made ourselves

Images of God

Can't you tell?

Holy polaroid snapshots

Of a Summer Spent in Hell

The Devil prance around

Like the cock of the walk

Imitating sounds

From the human talk

All our lives are in penance

And penance is all we've got

Love is making noise

Once a valiant goal

But all the girls & boys

Has made the loving foul

All our lives are in penance

And penance is all we've got
