I repent of my sins
'Gainst God and my neighbour.
I feel such remorse
For my appaling behaviour.

Absolve my crimes,
Absolve my crimes,
Re-educate my malicious mind,
Absolve my crimes,
Absolve my crimes,
Wash me that I may be purified.

I have erred from thy ways
Like a lost tender lamb.
Please forgive
The works of my hands.
I have done those things
I ought not to have done.
I have left undone
What I ought to have done.

Absolve my crimes,
Absolve my crimes,
Re-educate my malicious mind,
Absolve my crimes,
Absolve my crimes,
Wash me that I may be purified.

You punished me to the letter of the law;
But now my skin is bloodied and raw.
You washed me so clean, I was left without stains;
But you scrubbed me so hard, my soul was rinsed away.
You taught me the things I ought to have known;
But now I can't seem to think on my own.
What price absolution, what price to be purified?
What price absolution, what price to be purified?

Can't you see what's wrong with me?
Can't you see: I'm falling?
