Tragically Hip - Cordelia lyrics

Believe, when you lie

You will never need to recognize yourself

To deceive

To remove all chance of doubt and be received

With your lie

The deception is complete when you concede

And decide

To reject your lives, sacrificed to me

Penance can’t absolve your sin

All your belief

Cannot absolve your sin

Believe, when you lie

You will never need to recognize the source

Of deceipt

To renew your faith in god

You must believe, in your lie

The redemption is complete when you conceive

And decline

To release your lives

Sacrificed to me

Penance can’t absolve your sin

All your belief

Cannot absolve your sin

Reap your life, like you want to

Recognize, all you’ve come to

Reap your life

Veiled in shadow

Recognize

Faces of the crucified

I can hear their screams tonight

Ever haunting me

Burn your lie into me

Penance can’t absolve your sin

All your belief

Cannot absolve your sin
