Shroud of Despondency

Prominent Cross

Shroud of Despondency


Prominent cross, high in the air
Degradation underneath
Who is worthy of love?
Prominent cross, clouding the air
Penance underneath
Who is love worthy of?

I'm sorry I held my hand
To the flame again
To honor that which
Was taught to me by you, father
I'm sorry I held your hand at all

Visibility feeds, the lights go out
Honorable men go with honorable men
In the dark, I'm sorry
I held my hand to the flame again
To honor that which was taught to me by you, father
