the innocence spilled

Singer:as i lay dying

for so long i was deceived

enslaved by these chains

blinded to your forgiveness

if only i knew your love

giving your life to save me from this pain

broken and bleeding i turned you away

now i have seen the scars inflicted by my hands

the innocence spilled to save me

reaching to the hand that brought you this pain

and now i am on my knees

crying the way you wept for me

crying

crying tears of shame

dying

dying to take away their pain

i hear the screams of those who call from the grave

dying for me to take their pain
