Pat Benatar - Purgatory lyrics

We will be the forgotten ones They will shake their heads and pity us We who sacrificed our sons and daughters With the sweet taste of victory on our lips They will cry, but their tears will come too late There is no redemption for the ones Who choose to walk in the shadows Oh sweet redeemer will you save a place for me I am tired and i'm seeking restitution Oh will you heal me, will you take away my pain What i'm looking for is absolution Getting out of purgatory Is no small accomplishment And the price is high And it comes with its own set of conditions The choice is never clear and difficult to make But it will not change them They will just go on the way they always have Oh sweet redeemer will you save a place for me I am tired and i'm seeking restitution Oh will you heal me, will you take away my pain What i'm looking for is absolution
