Absolution

case is closed, you're back into focus
the jury's out, you're closing in
this battle of mind over matters 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 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 killer 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, you're closing in
this battle of mind over matters spent
this scar, 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 up, 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 killer 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 no tongues
and the rhythms of past lovers come together or not at all
from this point on hear no evil, speak no tongues
and the riddles don't buy onto 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 killer 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
