9. Absolution (4:50)
Ever since you were born you have been dying
Every day a little more you have been dying
Dying to reach the setting sun
As a child with your mind on the horizon
Over corpses to the prize you keep your eyes on
Trying to be the chosen one
All those things that you desire
You will find here in the fire
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You will be down on your knees and you will cry
Cry for absolution
Even now when you are here you are moving
Hysterically seeking out what needs improving
You are still asking for the sun
All those things that you desire
You will find here in the fire
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You will be down on your knees and you will cry
Cry for absolution
Every day a little more you have been dying
Dying to reach the setting sun
As a child with your mind on the horizon
Over corpses to the prize you keep your eyes on
Trying to be the chosen one
All those things that you desire
You will find here in the fire
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You will be down on your knees and you will cry
Cry for absolution
Even now when you are here you are moving
Hysterically seeking out what needs improving
You are still asking for the sun
All those things that you desire
You will find here in the fire
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You will be down on your knees and you will cry
Cry for absolution
