Bitter - Penance

When the night is gettin' old

And the air is gettin' colder

You know I’ll never fold up

I turn my back on fear…

As I lie awake alone

And the voices come to taunt me

Every night another haunting

Driving me beyond my years…

When sleep finally flies me away

Under crimson clouds of pain

All my regrets have taken shape

As bitter tears that fall like rain

Hey — I think I’m ready

To confront the things in life that are haunting me

Hey — If it takes me all my days

I’ll drive away the bitter tears of pain

Phantoms of what could have been

Now come to tempt my soul to sin

Dark purple mountains of misery

Bring the weight of the world on me

Hey — I think I’m ready

To confront the things in life that are haunting me

Hey — If it takes me all my days

I’ll drive away the bitter tears of pain

So tired of the pain — the never ending strain

It’s time I made the change

It’s time to rearrange…

'Cause I — I think I’m ready

To confront the things in life that are haunting me

Hey — If it takes me all my days

I’ll drive away the bitter tears of…

Pain
