Penitence

Tell me, how does it feel,
To have the angels turn away
When not even the heavens
Will look upon your face


And how does it feel
To have rendered such disgrace
That even hope and mercy
Turn from you in shame


Well tears are raining from the clouds
And blues of angel eyes
They drip down cold a faithless face
A broken lover cries


Tell me now, how's it feel
To look upon her shattered soul
To feel her warm touch pull away
And you marred her, you know


And how does it feel
To jerk awake in the cold
To claw the bed, reach for love
Shiver, you're alone


Now salt is glist'ning in the clouds
And guilt of sinful eyes
It drips down cold a traitor's face
A tainted lover cries


Tell me, how do you feel?
I wanna know just how you feel
Because this pain is just too real
And I wanna know just how he feels...
