We will be the forgotten ones

They will shake their heads and pity us

We who sacrificed our sons and daughters

With the sweet taste of victory on our lips

They will cry, but their tears will come too late

There is no redemption for the ones

Who choose to walk in the shadows



Oh sweet redeemer will you save a place for me

I am tired and I'm seeking restitution

Oh will you heal me, will you take away my pain

What I'm looking for is absolution

Getting out of Purgatory

Is no small accomplishment

And the price is high

And it comes with its own set of conditions

The choice is never clear and difficult to make

But it will not change them

They will just go on the way they always have



Oh sweet redeemer will you save a place for me

I am tired and I'm seeking restitution

Oh will you heal me, will you take away my pain

What I'm looking for is absolution
