(Verse)
I sinned

It's time to
Pay for it
I stole some

Cookies from
The cookie jar.


(Chorus)
Say your prayers
Get you some

Forgiveness's
Heal your concienceness
Heal


(Verse)
I chained

Those slaves into the
Ships dark hold.


(Chorus)
Amazing grace
I need you now

I need some
Redemption
Redeem.



(Verse)

Haunted
By sins and crimes
I cry to no avail

I killed, I stole,
I lied.


(Chorus)
Act of Contrition
Give, give me a task

To make it all better
To Fix.


(Verse)
Sorry for these crimes
And all my sins.


(Chorus)
The dogs tear in

To the wild
Helpless beast
It is my fault

My fault.





(Verse)

This song
My misery
Is all that

I can do
Small token
Of amends.


(Chorus)
Help me with

My hell-bound soul
Give me penance
Anything....


(Verse)
My zeal

For British steel
The drunkenness
Of revenge.


(Chorus)
A black cloud
Hangs over me
For all I've done

It only rains
On me
It rains....



(Verse)
Hail Holy Mary
Mother of God
Pray for us sinners
Now and at

The hour of
Our deaths
Amen.

(Chorus)

My rosary hangs
Inaccessible
I cannot reach
Cannot chant.

(Verse)

My cursed past
My memory black.

(Chorus)
The priest, the monk
They fall asleep
Not me

I wallow
In my guilt.
