Sins of The Father

[Part I]

[Verse 1]

Oh Lord, I bear this weight

My mom and my daddy, upon me they've placed

I have no words to say

It's written there all over my face

[Verse 2]

Oh Lord, perpetual pain

I can't be at home where my father lays

In time we'll fade away

Hopefully it's to the same place

[Bridge]

Father, You said You'd love me

Like my own never could

How could I ever thank Thee?

You are good

[Verse 3]

There is no one like You

You gave Your life so I wouldn't have to

Whеre there is onе, there's two

It's me and You

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

I've got all this hate in my heart

But I got no place to put it

Tried to leave it behind but I couldn't

I need alchemical transmutation

I need alchemical transmutation

I've got all this pain in my heart

But I got no place to put it

Tried to leave it behind but I couldn't

I need alchemical transmutation

I need alchemical transmutation, oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Part II]

[Verse 1: Daniel Caesar]

Dad was forgetful, he promised a lot

Thankfully, he never got caught

Passed it to me now, I finally can see

Forgetting's a gift, thank you, God

[Verse 2: Daniel Caesar]

Forgot your birthday, I'm sorry, my dear

At least my stance remains clear

I'Il forget your birthday like every year

Who gives a fuck anyways?

[Outro: Justin Vernon]

Those are the sins, of the father

Those are the sins

Sins, sins, sins, sins of the father

Turn around

Turn around

Oh, child of mine
