FORGIVE
Oh night oh fire
I defend I desire
Fire I surrender
Oh malice oh mercy
I’ve tempted I’ve thirst
Fortune I’ve doubt
These our servants want to lend themselves
Free not burdened I once myself felt
I’ll seek not further outside but inside dwell
To feast to serve is to’ve forgiven oneself if no one else If no one else
I swallowed fire I feed demons
Followed pride blind from fear I run
Burned hollow the house that I sleep in
Underfeed the mouths that need healing
I guarded the darkness I harvest from
Fathered and starved out the weaker son
But I forgive and I’m forgiven

Everytime I hear this album I groove like a tiny dancing Pomeranian getting a haircut. Anyone that hears this will definitely get blessed and funkified from the great Vulf. musicandmyth
