No Prayers of Forgiveness
(bminor scale)
Bm D A
I have sought for a dream that never was
F#m A Bm
I have wept for a life that is
Bm D A
I have lied when my heart did know the truth
F#m A Bm
I have killed for the choice it brings
D A Bm
I have failed, and it is my only strength
D Bm A
Save your tears, while I yet shed mine
Bm D A
Fly you straight, to the rest that should have been
F#m A Bm
I loved you, I let you go
Was it wrong to believe that you were gone?
Was it right to call you back?
What matter that I ask these questions now?
What is done can't be taken back.
Forgive me, I ask not to be absolved
In my shame, is the truth I seek
But sorrow cares not for the vow I make
I killed you, I let you go
This is not how I'd have said goodbye
This is not how the tale should end
There is no solace in the knowledge how
With my blade I have freed a friend.
