Ever since you were born you've been dying Every day a little more you've been dying Dying to reach the setting sun As a child, with your mind on the horizon Over corpses, to the prize you kept your eyes on Trying to be the chosen one All those things that you desire You will find there in the fire Put your hands up and reach for the sky Cry for absolution You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry Cry for absolution Even now when you're here you are moving Hysterically seeking out what needs improving And you're still asking for the sun All those things that you desire You will find there in the fire Put your hands up and reach for the sky Cry for absolution You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry Cry for absolution Put your hands up and reach for the sky Cry for absolution You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry Cry for absolution Put your hands up and reach for the sky Cry for absolution You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry Cry for absolution
