A memory
Long suppressed
Came rushing back when I closed my eyes
She told the truth
You told a lie
I was too damn drunk to fight
I see her face
I hear her words
Describing what you had done
Who else might she have told?
Was I the only one?
I am seeking absolution
Dreaming retribution
Not paralyzed this time around
Seeking absolution
Dreaming retribution
I will burn your castle down
You're living free
No remorse
Unaffected by your past
Years gone by
She's in the wind
Probably not the last
I have tried to just forget
Move on and let it go
I hate that I was there that night
I wish I didn't know
I am seeking absolution
Dreaming retribution
Not paralyzed this time around
Seeking absolution
Dreaming retribution
I will burn your castle down
Burn your castle down
You've constructed walls to insulate yourself
How can you live with the memory of hurting somebody else?
As the story goes, you can run and hide
But the past has a way of catching up
It eats you alive
Seeking absolution
Dreaming retribution
Not paralyzed this time around
Seeking absolution
Dreaming retribution
I will burn your castle down
I am seeking absolution
Dreaming retribution
Not paralyzed
Not paralyzed
Seeking absolution
Dreaming retribution
I will burn your castle down
Have you got an eerie feeling?
A chill down your spine?
Has the past caught up with you?
Is this the end of the line?
Are you out of options?
If you'd run where would you go?
Did you cover your tracks well enough?
Or does a person too many know?
