Neversink - Absolution Lyrics

And the moon was shining soft as silk
In the winter air my soul was still
And the shadows pass and flicker through
In the shapes of ghosts and loves we knew

And I've marked my sins along my arm
As if seeing them would keep you safe from harm
Cause each chapter's just a notch you see
This'll one day be the death of me

And we prayed for absolution
For the things that we had done
I'm a slave to retribution
But I'm not the only one
No I'm not the only one

I'm just a slave bound to my bedside
Beg for the life I'd never known
And by the sea where the waves will set me free
I'll be alone
Let the waves awake my soul
I'll be alone

And we prayed for absolution
For the things that we had done
I'm just a slave to retribution
And I'm not the only one
No I'm not the only one
