"Blood Atonement" lyrics - REVOCATION

REVOCATION
"Blood Atonement"
(Dan Gargiulo)

Heart of darkness, untouched by the light
No God can forgive these sins
Cleansing ritual, purify
Prepare the sacrifice

[Chorus:]
Absolution denied
Stains only blood can wash away
A forsaken life
Rid the world of this plague, lower the blade

No, the hangman's noose won't do for you
Your reign of torment ends in bloodshed
With a fall of the axe your death comes to pass
Staining the ground below crimson red

[Chorus:]
Absolution denied
Stains only blood can wash away
A forsaken life
Rid the world of this plague, lower the blade

[Post-Chorus:]
One thousand daggers drawn to open your throat
And every drop you bleed will poison the earth below

[Bridge:]
Rotting beneath the spoiled ground
No mourners to visit my desolate grave
And here I remain, buried in hate

[Solo: Davidson]

[Chorus:]
Absolution denied
Stains only blood can wash away
A forsaken life
Rid the world of this plague, lower the blade
