The darkest of oaths I have sworn.
No one said "That's not the path to go."
Now, here I stand
A wicked man, as my own foe.
Throughout the years I've rambled
And every day I said to myself:
"Never again shall I ramble."
And I rambled, and I rambled, and I rambled.
Now that I've got no where to hide,
Once again I must throw in the towel
That holds the blood and the tears of many.
Forgive me, for I know not what I do.
Kill me, for I'll do it again.
Burn me eternal,
For he who sinned
Must again
Sin.
Forgive me not,
For I shall not
Forget the tears
Of those I loved.
But maybe, if sun be bright
And your friends are there,
Find it in your heart to forgive me
For a lifetime I'm spending
In great agony,
And somehow, you know
And you understand.
If not, unforgiven be my poor spirit.
