[Verse 1: Papa Emeritus III]

Ever since you were born you've been dying

Every day, a little more, you've been dying

Dying to reach the setting sun

As a child, with your mind on the horizon

Over corpses to the prize you kept your eyes on

Trying to be the chosen one

[Pre-Chorus: Papa Emeritus III]

All those things that you desire

You will find here in the fire

[Chorus: Papa Emeritus III]

Put your hands up and reach for the sky

Cry for absolution

You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry

Cry for absolution

[Verse 2: Papa Emeritus III]

Even now when you're here you are movin'

Hysterically seeking out what needs improvin'

And you're still asking for the sun

[Pre-Chorus: Papa Emeritus III]

All those things that you desire

You will find here in the fire

[Chorus: Papa Emeritus III]

Put your hands up and reach for the sky

Cry for absolution

You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry

Cry for absolution

[Bridge]

You'll cry, you'll cry, you'll cry (You'll cry, you'll cry…)

You'll cry, you'll cry, you'll cry (You'll cry, you'll cry…)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Papa Emeritus III]

Put your hands up and reach for the sky

Cry for absolution

You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry

Cry for absolution

Put your hands up and reach for the sky

Cry for absolution

You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry

Cry for absolution
