Ever since you were born, you've been dying
Every day a little more, you've been dying
Dying to reach the setting sun
As a child, with your mind on the horizon
Over corpses to the prize you kept your eyes on
Trying to be the chosen one
All those things that you desire
You will find there in the fire
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees, and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
Even now, when you're here, you are moving
Hysterically seeking out what needs improving
And you're still asking for the sun
All those things that you desire
You will find there in the fire
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees, and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
You will cry, you will cry, you will cry
You will cry, you will cry, you will cry
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees, and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees, and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
