attalus – albatross lyrics
i’ve been sailing countless mile
trying to find a way to break this curse
i try to wash away the guilt
but each failure only makes it worse
the blood is on my hands
but the stain goes much deeper than the skin
the shadow haunts the daylight hours
the body clings to me like unwashed sin
’cause i k!lled an albatross
and i can’t seem to get it off my chest
the chains, the weight, the sentence
oh, i’ve paid my penance
but this ship is still such a mess
after miles on the sea
the thought cripples me
that i haven’t even progressed
oh god, it doesn’t make sense
i thought there was grace in the sacraments
and i tried, and i tried
to make amends for the crimes
but i failed in all my attempts
i can’t shake this regret
i’ve been paying my dues
but i’m still in debt
got my sins in a pile
watch it grow every mile
but my good works don’t cover it
no! no, my good works don’t cover it
nothing will cover it
then i hear a voice from somewhere
deep beneath the waves
it says to me
“oh man, redemption is just a leap away!
’cause you k!lled an albatross
and you can’t seem to get yourself unbound
the chains, the weight, the sentence
you’ve done your penance
but your ship’s still running aground
after every wrong turn
you still haven’t learned
the only way out is down
yes, the only way out is down!
oh, man! it doesn’t make sense
why you think you could earn back your innocence
you’re so caught up in the work
there’s blood on your shirt
you’re too busy to repent
i know you wear your regret
but i wear the scars that could pay your debt
wash your sins in the tide
flowing out of my side
’cause i’ll be your advocate
give up all of your thoughts of the sh-r-
(all of your thoughts, they will all count for naught)
lose yourself! don’t waste your life anymore
(don’t waste your life anymore, child i’ve settled your score)
’cause i’ll wear your guilt, your cross, your h-ll
i’ll wear your albatross as well
as soon as you realize
you can’t save yourself
’cause i’ll wear your guilt, your cross, your h-ll
i’ll wear your albatross as well
as soon as you realize
you can’t save yourself
’cause i’ll wear your guilt, your cross, your h-ll
i’ll wear your albatross as well
as soon as you realize
you can’t save yourself!”
