A righteous paths calls so true and narrow
The earth surrounding desolate and barron
A heart of intentions so crystal clear

Detered by dark whispers so dangerously near
Twisted undergrowth and tangled minds
What will the lusts of my clouded morals find?


Dear friend, your whispers crawled so close
But I've not the will to save you from your noose


I will never look back, I will only regret
I wll never kneel down, I can only repent

How can I carry you on my own two feet?
When I'm trapped in the thralls of defeat


Dear friend, your whispers crawled so close
But I've not the will to save you from your noose


My torch has flickered, I've lost my way
Watch every hope I planted wilt away
Can you remember the man I used to be?

He died in the relfections of twisted morality
I tried to be a good man, to be an inspiration
Somewhere along my journey I lost my fight to temptation

I used to bear pride, spread my wings like a saint

Addiction infected the heart I swore would never taint

I'll walk faithfully into the howling dark
I will never look back, I will only regret
Dear friend, your whispers crawled so close

Dear friend, your whispers

I will never kneel down

I can only repent
I will never kneel down
I can only repent

Repent!
