Reconciliation Lyrics

Reconciliation lyrics

I thought I'd seen hell 

Thought I knew it all 

Now I know too well 

Hell is to wake up 

But it makes all the difference 



Tasting the tears in my mouth 

Taking the weight on my shoulders 

The hours and days of your life 

Don't necessarily make you older 



I'm sick of running away 

Along these bloody streets 

I'm sick of predators and prey 

Of being everybody's end! 



I've washed my hands of your blood 

Thought it would leave me clean 

But with time on my hands 

It turned to mud forming this crust of sin 



Now - to be truly free 

I'll let it come to me 

So -break me if you must 

When you break this crust 

Freedom is to see 



Hear this voice, see this man 

Standing before you I'm just a child 

Just a man learning to yield 



I hate these hands soaked in blood 

I hate what these eyes have seen 

Up to my knees in filth and mud 

How it hurts to become clean 



I was always on my mind 

But never on my side 

Run - but if you run away 

You'll always have to hide 

So if you need to run 

Run for help!
