Ailanthus

Malum

Ailanthus


Father, I have sinned 
I have disappointed you 
I was never able to understand. 
I ask you to guide 
I hope for your forgiveness 
I long to understand 
Forgive me 
Father, I have failed 
I've become lost easily. 
With faith dissolved I plead for your mercy 
Let me rest, finally 
Close my eyes on the horrors I have seen 
Turn the page, hit rewind 
These words may have been wrong. 
You were never there for me, King of Lies 
You the murderer-your hands are stained with my blood 
These wounds are still fresh, your knife cold, deep inside. 
I want you to beg. Repent for the pain you gave. Pray for my forgiveness, Father 
Let me rest, finally 
Close my eyes on the horrors I have seen 
Our Father, did you stray from heaven? How could I with love say your name? Thy kingdom fell, your will has become the destruction of the earth and the death of heaven. Give me this day, my daily prayer, to understand your trespasses as I try to forgive you for destroying me. I have strayed into temptation. You have failed to deliver me from evil. 
Let me rest, finally 
Close my eyes on the horrors I have seen
