Anders Osborne - Echoes of My Sins lyrics

I've been looking for the golden truth I've been filled with good intent I held up the torch of love And I have tried to do the right thing But as my hands slowly lost their grip All I could hear from deep within Was the thunder of all my guilt And the echoes of my sins Yeah, I have bragged about what I have done Of what I've seen and where I've been You know I had friends stand up for me When I did nothing for them (I did nothing) But as I slowly lost my way The church bells were still ringing.... Like distant thunder of all of my guilt And the echoes of my sins You know, I have walked in the shadow of my self I've been afraid of everything And you have watched me play without the joy That makes me who I am But as I slowly gave away my life I could hear the angels sing So much louder than the thunder of my guilt And the echoes of my sins So much louder than the thunder of my guilt And the echoes of my sins
