Some time ago I checked my conscience And found it wasn't all that clean A trail of people I had hurt A sea of sins left unredeemed CH Regret is a dull and rusted blade That covers me with scars that never fade These wounds, like a catalog of flaws Serve to remind me of all the pain I've caused So I resolved to make amends To heal the damage I had done But I could never stop the torrent Of those regrets still yet to come (CH) This bitter sadness overwhelms me And mires me down with velvet arms It's time for me to face the music It's time to undo all this harm (CH)
