Lyrics

Absolution

Jump into the sun
Dear boy, what are you running from?
Everyone has got to be saved
I have heard a voice if it came down to make a choice
I would be the one who's replaced
Time keeps rolling on
I need my
Time keeps rolling on
I need my absolution
Run boy, be a man
With legs too weak to make a stand
We're all crucified in the end
Can you hear a voice?
Decipher it through all this noise
You'll be left with nothing again
Time keeps rolling on
I need my
Time keeps rolling on
I need my absolution
Time keeps rolling on
I need my absolution
Time keeps rolling on
I need my absolution
Jump into the sun
Dear boy, what are you running from?
The answer you will find in your grave
Time keeps rolling on
I need my
But time keeps rolling on
I need my absolution
Time keeps rolling on
I need my absolution
Time keeps rolling on
I need my absolution
Boys on the outside of heaven
Outside of heaven, but I could be wrong
Boys on the outside of heaven
Outside of heaven, but I could be wrong
Boys on the outside of heaven
Outside of heaven but I could be wrong
