Paroles de Anger

Anger you're a bitter friend You stabbed me in the back again Tricking me with fantasies Of vindication, satisfaction Slipping on that yoke of pain You steal from me with twisted gain Robbing days and precious gifts That are wrapped in earthen packages Why do you lie in your pride? Revenge is most sweet when it dies Don't let that bitter root hide For there is life on the other side Sleepless nights my mind replays Waiting for apologies I've been wronged, does no one see? My soul cries out, "how can it be?" Will it ever be okay? I've lost what cannot be repaid Forgiveness seems like just a word You say to push the pain away Until you see him on that cross Naked and bleeding and bruised Bearing the blows for the sins Crying, "abba, father, forgive them" "Oh, I will bear those blows Oh, punish me for them Oh, I will take the pain Oh, punish me for them"
