Not Forgiven

(album: The Serpent Rings - 2020)

No going back
That ship has sailed
Your poison words
Have been impaled

My blood runs cold
I shed no tears
That story's old

Your misery
Part of your life
Your sorrow burns
Just out of sight

My blood runs cold
I shed no tears
That story's old

Not forgiven
You wear the face of a liar
Not forgiven
You stand too close to the fire
Words are empty
To the money you're drawn
Not forgiven
You'll get lost in the storm

Your painted face
Fell off the edge
Forgot the facts
Or so he says

My blood runs cold
I shed no tears
That story's old

Not forgiven
You wear the face of a liar
Not forgiven
You stand too close to the fire
Words are empty
To the money you're drawn
Not forgiven
You'll get lost in the storm

No more pretending
Falling under your spell
Your life consumed in
Your dark hotel
Don't have a key there
I said farewell
Locked all your rooms in
Your citadel

Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven

Not forgiven
You wear the face of a liar
Not forgiven
You stand too close to the fire
Words are empty
To the money you're drawn
Not forgiven
You'll get lost in the storm

Not forgiven
You wear the face of a liar
Not forgiven
You stand too close to the fire
Words are empty
To the money you're drawn
Not forgiven
You'll get lost in the storm
