K'NAAN - Scarred Forever lyrics
Your rating:
[Cain:] "I gaze at this pool of blood on the ground I sought completion but emptiness I found As the sunset ends my longest day Flesh and blood I have slayed, myself I betrayed His spirit blows with the wind and the stroke of my hand And finally, mortality I will understand Am I to escape, to forget, to deny To empty myself to the day I will die Is there a punishment that will suffice? Fulfill my need for redemption Slowly, I raise my head to the skies Oh father, grant me salvation Now I rise Scarred forever With the mark between my eyes I walk the nether Can this really be the price to pay? It's priceless to push the guilt away It haunts me still to remember him But it's even harder to try and forget A death in silence is never the answer This mark is for the lives we end Is there a punishment that will suffice? Fulfill my need for redemption Slowly, I lower my head to the ground Oh father, you didn't grant me any salvation at all"
