Tell Me Its For Absolution by Azure (prog rock) Lyrics
(It's for absolution)
God, such vacant company
Here in the garden of Gethsemane
I know every single one of them and all that they believe in
Everybody is a junkie with a sinful life to lead in
Tell me it's for absolution
Death is a step in a sin-free solution
Tell me it's for absolution
And leave the rest to me
If I have to die today, why can't you make it painless
And when I take their sins away, you know they won't stay sinless
Tell me it's for absolution
And roll the stone away
Every time I bury my head in my hands, I see right through them
Lucifer was a scapegoat taking blame for human nature
Everybody is a junkie, waiting for you to come and save us
Tell me it's for absolution
Death is a step in a sin-free solution
Tell me it's for absolution
And leave the rest to me
If I have to die today, why can't you make it painless
And when I take their sins away, you know they won't stay sinless
Tell me it's for absolution
And roll the stone away
I could have a life, and
Watch as it unfolded
But you only think of yourself
Everyone is stupid, everyone is foolish
Yeah, you have been controlling
We were born to be slaves
Every step I take towards my cross
I feel the weight of another soul
Who isn't worth my
Blood and body, and I'm not sorry
You've been telling
Bloody Stories
Will they ever learn?
Drug-distorted tales they all yearn to be true
About me
'Well I never, we're so clever!'
They all cheered as they died
I don't long for what you've been taking
Guess I'm afraid of the high
Tell me it's for absolution
Death is a step in a sin-free solution
Tell me it's for absolution
And leave the rest to me
If I have to die today, why can't you make it painless
And when I take their sins away, you know they won't stay sinless
Tell me it's for absolution
And roll the stone away
God, such vacant company
Here in the garden of Gethsemane
I know every single one of them and all that they believe in
Everybody is a junkie with a sinful life to lead in
Tell me it's for absolution
Death is a step in a sin-free solution
Tell me it's for absolution
And leave the rest to me
If I have to die today, why can't you make it painless
And when I take their sins away, you know they won't stay sinless
Tell me it's for absolution
And roll the stone away
Every time I bury my head in my hands, I see right through them
Lucifer was a scapegoat taking blame for human nature
Everybody is a junkie, waiting for you to come and save us
Tell me it's for absolution
Death is a step in a sin-free solution
Tell me it's for absolution
And leave the rest to me
If I have to die today, why can't you make it painless
And when I take their sins away, you know they won't stay sinless
Tell me it's for absolution
And roll the stone away
I could have a life, and
Watch as it unfolded
But you only think of yourself
Everyone is stupid, everyone is foolish
Yeah, you have been controlling
We were born to be slaves
Every step I take towards my cross

If I have to die today, why can't you make it painless
And when I take their sins away, you know they won't stay sinless
Tell me it's for absolution
And roll the stone away
