Strange Lullaby

On sacred ground, in an honest place The awful sound, cries of disgrace No priestess to hear your confessions No people to witness your concessions In the shadows you lie To save yourself you deny Without a penance to cry Soothe yourself with strange lullaby Secrets abound, given too much space Your admissions were found to be lacking in taste No judgement exists that will free you No goddess's kiss, she can't see you In the shadows you lie To save yourself you deny Without a penance to cry Soothe yourself with strange lullaby You cast around for a friendly face Tear the altar down, shame and abase No mercy within to forgive you Your stories of sin will outlive you In the shadows you lie To save yourself you deny Without a penance to cry Soothe yourself with strange lullaby In the shadows you lie To save yourself you deny Without a penance to cry Soothe yourself with strange lullaby In the shadows you lie To save yourself you deny Without a penance to cry Soothe yourself with strange lullaby
