Absolution

Case is closed
You're back into focus
The jury's out
You're closing in
This battle of mind over matter's spent
This scar
This scar is not permanent
Choices or chances
Or what sinks in water
Your secret's out
What you held within
You've found your plague
Your cancer
Stop
I bet you've got something clever

This house is caving in
Your last words
Caught trembling
Decisions
Make decisions for your fat
Your choice is the chance that you have to take
Burn
Stop
Your time is up
You've found all of the answers
So take a breath and end this chapter
I'll bring the fire if you bring the water

Face to the grave
Will the hero be saved
Saved by the same hands
The same hands that frame life
Hero be safe from the killer you made
Saved by the same hands
The same hands that frame life

Case is closed
You're back into focus
The jury's out
Your closing in
This battle of mind over matter's spent
This scar
Rising the judge screams
The courtroom is in order
You bring the victim
And we choose the martyr
Taking time to make it happen
I can't hear you scream

This house is caving in
Your last words
Caught trembling
Decisions
Make decisions for your fate
Your choice is the chance that you have to take
Burn
Stop
Your time is up
You've found all of the answers
So take a breath and end this chapter
I'll bring the fire if you bring the water

Face to the grave
Will the hero be saved
Saved by the same hands
The same hands that frame life
Hero be safe from the killer you made
Saved by the same hands
The same hands that frame life

From this point on hear no evil
Speak non tongues
And the rhythms of past lovers come together
Or not at all
From this point on hear no evil
Speak non tongues
And the riddles don't buy on to one

Burn quick
Sink slow
Your heart grows colder than regret
Your burden stone
Your heart grows colder
Stillbeat
Weak
And frozen
Face to the grave
Will the hero be saved
Saved by the same hands
The same hands that frame life
Hero be safe from the killer you made
Saved by the same hands
The same hands that frame life

Face to the grave
Will the hero be saved
Saved by the same hands
The same hands that frame life
Hero be safe from the killer you made
Saved by the same hands
The same hands that frame life
