Messiah - Contrition lyrics

For two weeks, I was sitting in the prison cell

Iron gates obstruct the way to be free

Now, I've enough time to think about my offence

This deed was dreadful and I deeply regret it

I don't like to talk about the things that happened

My mind has drifted to this transgression

The pictures of the offence reflect in my brain

Only now I'm realizing what I have done

Horrible nightmares constantly cross my sleep

At the time it's really hard to live in the cell

Tears run over my cheeks

I've never noticed that before

This is a serious situation

Never could I imagine

I killed an innocent girl

She had the right to live

So I have it too

I know that's my crime

Although the people

Are not blameless

I have the chances ruined for my future

It will be hard to find a new job

My name is murder, it says too much

Everybody will get out of my way

Lost the power, destroyed my pride

My life is ruined, lose my future

My mother left me to my fate

She will have nothing more to do with me

I don't know what the time will bring

When I leave the prison in one year
