Forgive me, beloved, I must confess,
A captive to circumstance, nonetheless.
You, the dawn's radiant, welcoming gleam,
I, the night's shadowed and silent dream.
(A bird with clipped wings, forever earthbound,
No longer able to take flight, is found) - 2
A heart once shattered, beyond repair,
Will never know unity, nor ever dare.
I know the depths of your love's embrace,
I know the language of your heart's space.
Forgive me...
(This life, a failure, in every way,
A life in name, and nothing more to say) - 2
A life that could not offer you aid,
What purpose, then, is this life made?
I cannot bear, to see you burn,
To see your heart's lessons, that you must learn.
Forgive me...
(The grief of parting, I cannot bear,
I swear to you, the pain, I cannot share) - 2
That cruel hour, when fate will arrive,
My final breath, my last goodbye.
That day will be the final crest,
Of a life unfulfilled, put to the test.
Forgive me...
